| A late 18th Century Swiss verge in a gilt consular case with fine concealed erotic enamel scene. Full plate gilt fusee movement. Finely pierced and engraved bridge cock with polished steel coqueret, plain three arm gilt balance with blue steel spiral hairspring. Silver regulator dial with gilt
indicator. Wound through the white enamel dial with small repaired chips, Arabic numerals, blue steel hands. Plain gilt consular case, the gilding rubbed, the back concealing a finely painted erotic scene. Opening the back reveals a nun, apparently kneeling at prayer, receiving the attentions of a member of the clergy from behind.
