Museum quality large verge watch with musical movement and 4 automata, probably Geneva ca. 1820 Ca. Ø62mm, ca. 170g, engine turned silver case, maker's mark CB & Cie, extremely unusual musical/automatic movement with verge escapement, face with decentral dial, beautiful figural scene with 4 automata, fantastic enamel work on the background, intact, the musical movement and the automaton movement are released via a lateral slide on the band, only minor restorations in the enamel at the winding hole and on the top rim next to the dial, otherwise in very good condition. The extremely rare movement was completely restored/revised very extensively over a period of almost 12 months in 2021. The watch is a rarity in every respect. The movement is highly unusual, also the automaton with 4 figures.
