VALUE SWISS L’HEURE D’AMOUR Limited Edition

Value Swiss “L’Heure d’Amour” Piece Unique is a rare and whimsical creation that blends traditional Swiss watchmaking with playful artistry, featuring a concealed erotic automaton hidden beneath a hinged case.Crafted circa 2000 as a one-of-a-kind timepiece, this watch showcases an 18K yellow gold case with a double-hinged construction—the upper case houses the time display, while the lower reveals a hand-painted erotic scene activated by a discreet lever at 2 o’clock. The dial is silvered with a guilloché center, adorned with applied dot indexes and Arabic numerals, and complemented by yellow gold Breguet-style hands. A subsidiary seconds dial sits at 6 o’clock, maintaining symmetry and elegance.Inside, the watch is powered by a manual-winding skeletonized movement, hand-engraved and equipped with a straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance, and shock absorber, ensuring both mechanical integrity and visual intrigue. The case back is transparent, offering a view of the movement’s intricate finishing, while the erotic automaton—often depicting a romantic scene on a motorcycle—is revealed only when the lower case is opened.This piece is signed on the dial, case, and movement, and was originally accompanied by a fitted presentation box and certificate of authenticity. Measuring 38–39 mm in diameter, it balances classic proportions with bold personality. Collectors prize it not only for its rarity and craftsmanship but also for its ability to surprise and delight—making it a standout in any serious horological collection.
