Watches were the only foreign products that interested the Chinese elite. Quianlong himself had a sizable collection. While Britain resorted to gunboats and opium to force the Chinese market to open, it was a Swiss businessman who found the key. 21-year-old Edouard Bovet arrived in Canton in 1818 and almost immediately sold four watches for 10,000 francs — about a million US dollars today. Edouard Bovet decided to stay in Canton, establishing a watchmaking dynasty that lasted 80 years. Very soon in China, “Bo Wei” became synonymous for a watch. In the currency turmoil of late Manchu China, BOVET watches spread throughout the country as a medium of exchange.The featured watch is Bovet Amadeo Fleaurier in 18k Rose Gold case with Fixed bezel. Measuring to 39 mm, Bovet Caliber 11ba12, beats at 28,800 vph, contains 31 jewels & has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours solid 22kt rotor with an exquisite fleurisanne pattern engraving. this Bovet comes on a Ivory off-white enamel dial with Romain Numerals Hours Markers and Silver Hands Hours and Seconds markers. Sub dial Small Seconds at 6 o'clock position. Power Reserve indicator located at the 3 o'clock position, Minutes markers around outer of the rim. Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Transparent caseback with Scratch resistant sapphire crystal, Skeleton caseback. Black leather strap with 18k Tang clasp, Water resistant at 30mThe Bovet Amadeo case is an interesting treat. This case actually transforms, offering a case that can be worn on the wrist, as a pocket watch, around the neck as a pendant, and even on set on a table as a desk clock. None of this is obvious just by looking at the watch and someone could easily own the piece for a long time without even knowing that it offered the ability to transform. The engineering is simple and highly effective.Even though the watch is an automatic, I appreciate the longer power reserve and power reserve indicator on the dial a lot. *At 39mm his timepiece is the perfect size to wear. Because of the Bow at the top and the way it curves around the wrist, it is actually very comfortable and feels larger, as if it was a 42mm watch. I had the bigger 42mm before and find this size much more suitable and enjoyable Personal Note--This timepiece is the Quintessential Bovet Design, and has the popular and Iconic Bovet watch Case style that resembles a "Pocket Watch" meant to be worn on the wrist. --This particular model transforms to a pocket watch, a pendant to be worn around the neck, and even on a table as a desk clock. --It has one of the most beautiful and elegant Dials I have ever seen, The White Enamel Dial, which also reinforces the pocket watch theme, has a classic design with Rose Gold applied Roman Numerals and Stunning Matching Hands. . The top-mounted crown and lug ends have applied sapphire cabochon which adds an additional and expected element of luxury to this antique-styled watch. This watch is exceptional and made with amazing detail. Bovet has never claimed to make mainstream watches for everyone. With this watch you encounter a true feeling of exclusivity based on their boutique manufacturing output and independent ownership.     Turn the watch case over, and you'll find an exhibition caseback window with a view of the movement. Bovet makes their movements in-house and the mechanical automatic caliber 11BA12 is very attractive with a beautiful engraved 22k gold automatic rotor. Bovet calls their engraved motif the "Fleurisanne pattern." The movement operates at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 72 hours. The Amadeo Concept: An ingenious system in which the watch case has been designed so that it can easily convert to be used either as a wristwatch on a leather strap, as a pocket-watch on a chain or as a desk-clock by use of a hinged stand on the case back. The transformation is accomplished by 2 button cleverly integrated in the sides of the bow & a 3rd button on the case back. The transformation process is simple & does not require any tools.  This watch comes with the optional chain to convert it a Pocket watch.--It is a fun trick to remove the straps and lower the caseback "foot" to show people how the watch can be used like a little clock. Though I suspect that these features are rarely used in any practical sense. I have to admit that the ability for the case to transform is interesting and adds value to the watch. Having said that, I think that most owners are going to spend 95% of their time or more wearing the Amadeo Fleurier watch on their wrist. Comes 100% Complete with Box and Papers and Extra Chain to covert to the perfect Pocket watch!  Please read carefully:
