Footnotes

This delicate Omega open-face pocket watch, crafted in 18K yellow gold, features a charming enamelled dial and a case richly decorated with finely executed engravings. Petite in size and beautifully proportioned, it embodies the elegance of the period while showcasing Omega's early dedication to both precision and decorative artistry.

The lost-wax casting technique (also known as cire perdue in French) is an ancient method of metal casting that has been used for thousands of years in jewelry, sculpture, and watchmaking for intricate components. This technique is illustrated in Patek Philippe by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, p. 209.

A refined jewel of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, this watch is a testament to the maison's ability to unite mechanical excellence with ornamental beauty.
