The present watch is a fine example of an automaton watch most likely made in Geneva around 1820, featuring four automatons: the horse drinking water from the fountain by lifting its head up and down while simultaneously two streams of water are realistically running and the windmill's vanes are turning.
The vari-colour gold scene is of exquisite quality and impresses by the finely carved details, enhanced by the finely painted enamel background lakeside view, demonstrating the celebrated art of enamel miniatures originating from Geneva in the early 19th century.
