An. Enderlin à Bale - Quarter-Repeating "Oignon" (*) A rare Basel quarter-repeating "Oignon" Dimensions: 56 mm, circa 1710, Weight: 168 g, Origin: Switzerland Case: Silver, open-worked rim on the back, rear bell. Dial: Enamel. Movement: Full-plate movement, 2 hammers, chain/fusee, three-arm steel balance. This is a typical example of an “oignon”—a large watch featuring a simple construction and an easily readable dial. To highlight the beautiful sound of the repeater, the edge of the back cover is open-worked and adorned with acanthus leaf scrolls and cartouches depicting musical instruments and military equipment. Andreas Enderlin (1681–1733) descended from an important family of clock and watchmakers in Basel and later in Strasbourg. Some of the Enderlin family’s works are on display at the Historical Museum in Basel. Source: "Meister der Uhrmacherkunst" (Masters of Watchmaking) by Juergen Abeler, 2nd edition, Wuppertal 2010, p. 136. Case: very good, slightly rubbed. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
