Basel 2013 – Rare Handcrafts from Patek Philippe

May 27, 2013,08:27 AM
 




There are quite a few traditions in Geneva and Patek Philippe is known for their dedicated preservation of
artisanal skills that have been directly associated with horology for more than four centuries. Enameling is
one of them and at the end of the 1940´s, few artists tried to resuscitate the art of enamel in Geneva.

Several gorgeous examples (pocket/wrist watches and more) can be found in the Patek Philippe Museum.
Some of my all-time favorites are the tropical “Forét Vierge” dials with reference 2481.
