#MSCLGPG.C.   I am certainly not a clock expert however I bought this in Europe and this is a Very Rare Miniature Swiss Guilloché Cased Boudoir Carriage Clock Circa 1900 and is of Exceptional Quality with truly an Exquisite appearance. Made by the Eterna Watch Co. Swiss which is engaged on the bottom of the clock and also on the interior when opened at back. With its upper handle it measures approx. 2" tall and with it is 1 5/8" tall by 1 1/8" wide & 7/8" deep.  The enamel is in fine condition for its age with No Cracks or No Chips. The colour is a delicate pink which is outstanding viewing in person. There are numbers on the bottom of the clock as shown in my photos in large sizes shown for you. The movement is of Very High Quality Swiss Jeweled.  On the base of the dial it reads " 8 Jours".  I believe it is Made of Sterling Silver with a Gold Wash Overlay having a very detailed pattern which is engraved into the sterling silver and a very fine translucent coating of enamel in pink/ the colour of the pink enamel is stunning.  The size is precious as well as you can notice the size in my hands. .The clock comes in the Original double door opening leather exterior case having the interior of silk & velvet with minor tattering on the interior silk however nothing major. The enamel is on four sides and the clock sits on four  bun feet.

F48.  The Exquisite Red Tortoise Shell Dial Case "Cartel" in French has a dial surrounding with jewels,  It has an escape carrier and a rotary balance wheel and period estimated  c. 1870 around or about.  There is no chime to this exceptional clock that is why it makes it a fine Rare Exceptional and Rarest clock.
