Fortis Swiss 17 Jewels Incabloc Pendant Watch

This is a vintage Swiss-made pendant watch by the manufacturer Fortis, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The watch features a gold-toned circular case made of base metal, as indicated by internal markings. The primary aesthetic feature is a Fragonard-style 'fete galante' scene depicted in enamel on the front cover, showing a romantic pastoral couple in a landscape. The watch is suspended from a matching gold-toned curb link chain. Technically, the watch is equipped with a 17-jewel mechanical movement featuring an Incabloc shock protection system, a hallmark of mid-century Swiss horology. Based on the description provided, it contains the crown logo over the Fortis brand name and is stamped 'base metal swiss made' with the reference number 17103 near the movement. The item shows visible signs of aging, including wear to the gold plating and possible minor oxidation on the chain and case edges. The enamel scene remains the focal point, exhibiting a classic Rococo revival style common for decorative ladies' watches of that era.
