The Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 46 model is a very exquisite Lépine style pocket watch with a cabochon sapphire-set winding crown at 12 o'clock. This watch uses a special Amadeo convertible case, which is capable of being converted into either a pocket watch or a wristwatch. The 46 mm. 18k white gold case is embellished with a hand-chiselled design, that provides the watch with a special sparkling sensation. Furthermore the watch has a reversible semi-skeletonised dial, which allows you to observe the mechanism of the tourbillon and the gongs of the minute repeater when activated. The watch has been made with a great attention to detail and is beautifully finished. It is undoubtedly a watch made to perfection.
