Limited Edition of 10 Pieces.

Faberge Watch Compliquee Peacock Arte White Gold Black White Limited Edition 2816/1. Limited to ten numbered pieces, each watch dial is unique; engraved by a technique known as ‘eau forte’, or ‘etching’, an ‘intaglio’ print-making process dating back to the 16th century, in which an image or design is incised onto a plate using acid.

The etchings on the dial are filled with a mixture developed by Martinez, which is mainly ‘encre de Chine’ ink mixed with another component to prevent cracking during the drying process. This special technique also renders the watch water-resistant by preventing the process by which the ink is dissolved by water.
