Sometimes we can see wonderful yet very creative ways in which watchmakers turn the standard watch into something beautiful and playful . These pieces are truly works of art , combining the technical expertise of the watchmaker with the delicate beauty of the enameller ’ s craft . The form-watch transcends watch collecting to the world of masterful and decorative art .
The present fantasy watch is in extremely well preserved condition with hardly any restoration to the cherries . The watch sits inside the largest cherry in the center , and can be visible when the end of the crest is pushed .
