A beautiful Lepine pocket watch with an intriguing sculpted back, depicting farmers at work, surrounded by farming tools and leaves. The case, signed F. Rainier, is made of nickel silver (Argentan) and is in very good condition.

The dial is made of white enamel, also in good condition, featuring elegant black Art Nouveau-style Arabic numerals and red markings at 12 o'clock. The original steel hands are gold-colored, with a small second hand positioned at 6 o'clock.

The back of the case is deeply engraved with a leaf motif. The watch is set by pressing a button at 11 o'clock while simultaneously turning the crown. The mechanism is gold-plated with a cylinder escapement. The watch is functional (runs slightly slow).
