Note du spécialiste

A gold watch signed Perrin Frères featuring a comparable repeating movement with undulating gongs and snake head terminals is illustrated in Taschenuhren by Reinhard Meis, p. 170, pl. 336.

Perrin Frères, active in Neuchâtel in the early 19th century, were renowned makers of high quality watches, notably skeletonized repeaters.
