C. Painted to scale in watercolor on technical drawing paper. The origins of some of the most interesting wristwatches by such makers as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, Omega, Tissot, I.W.C., Universal, Eska and others can be traced to such designs. This album was apparently done by an artist who supplied watch companies with designs for their elaborate enamel dials.
