Case and External Ornamentation
The watch is housed in a consular-style case fashioned from polished bloodstone. The back of the watch is composed of a single, solid piece of bloodstone, which is held in place by an elaborate repoussé gold frame. This frame depicts cherub figures and doves. The front bezel also incorporates bloodstone, utilizing four separate segments to complement the primary case material. All metal fittings are rendered in 22-karat gold, including the pendant and the suspension ring, which connects the timepiece to the accompanying chatelaine.
The associated chatelaine is designed to coordinate with the watch case. It features a decorative clip embellished with bloodstone and repoussé gold, from which five distinct chains descend. These chains support a collection of ornamental pendants, including egg-shaped bloodstone charms, gold filigree work with black interiors, five carved coral pieces, and two black-colored pendants described as possibly being jet.
