A mid-18th-century English half-quarter repeating cylinder watch in gold and enamel pair cases with a matching chatelaine. The full-plate fire-gilt movement has a signed and numbered silver dust cover, pierced and engraved masked cock with diamond endstone, engraved foot and plate for the silver regulator disc, fusee and chain with worm-and-wheel barrel, plain three-arm steel balance, blued steel spiral hairspring, polished steel cylinder, and a large escape wheel. The watch strikes the half and quarter hours on a bell via a push pendant. The white enamel dial displays Roman numerals and gilt hands.

The 22-carat gold inner case is pierced and engraved with a central dove, and the push pendant features a horseshoe-shaped bow. The movement is released by a sprung steel button at six o’clock; the watch number is engraved below the pendant, and the maker’s mark “HT” appears under the bell. The fine 22-carat gold and enamel outer case is decorated with white and green champlevé geometric patterns, with a central enamel oval cartouche of a classical urn draped with flowers, surrounded by floral and ribbon motifs.

The matching chatelaine has a gilt enamelled clip echoing the case design, from which hang three gold-faced cartouches joined by rings and smaller enamelled cartouches. The watch attaches to the lowest cartouche with a hinged swivel sprung gold clip and threaded safety collar. Four additional chains of gold rings and enamelled cartouches terminate in spring clips. The set comes in a recent maroon morocco presentation box lined with grey velvet, with a glazed lid and easel stand displaying the chatelaine.
