Very nice Louis XIV oignon watch. Diameter is 58mm, thickness is 36mm. Beautiful gilt dial with porcelain cartouches. Oversized balance bridge, decorated with birds and floral ornament, typically for French Louis XIV oignon watches. Watch is signed by Albert Baillon in Paris.

He was son of Jean-Baptiste-Denis Baillon, Rouen-born watchmaker, relocated in Paris, and father of noted watchmaker Jean-Baptiste-Albert Baillon, watchmaker to the Queen of France Marie Leszinska.
