Laugerotte, Les Breuleux

European Watch Clock and Jewellery Fair 1988 BF 603
This striking “Tulip Holder” from the workshops of master clockmaker Laugerotte draws its inspiration from the “Chinese curios” so popular in 18th centuryFrance. The china cabinet (105 cm high) is entirely hand-painted and can be adorned with flowers. The clock itself features a hand-painted enamel dial and includes an 8-day movement with chimes, alarm, day and date calendar as well as a moon-phase indicator. (LAUGEROTTE, Les Breuleux)
