Faberge jewelry house became widely known thanks to the collection of Easter eggs created in the period from 1885 to 1917. The founder of the tradition of giving a jewelry Easter egg from the company of Karl Faberge (St. Petersburg) was the Emperor of Russia Alexander III, who first made such a gift to his wife in 1885.
The success of the Faberge Imperial Easter eggs jewelry has helped to ensure that orders for gifts of this kind for Easter have followed from a number of wealthy customers. In the period from 1898 to 1904, the Russian entrepreneur Alexander Kelkh ordered and presented his wife Varvara Kelkh-Bazanova with 7 Faberge Easter eggs made by the jeweler Mikhail Perkhin. In 2007, it became known about the existence of another product of the jewelry house: the "egg-watch of Rothschild", created in 1902 for a family of American billionaires and kept in their family throughout this time, was put up for auction. The last of the seven Easter eggs made by the jewelry maker Mikhail Yevlampievich Perkhin of the company Karl Faberge, ordered by the Russian entrepreneur Alexander Ferdinandovich Kelch as an Easter gift to his wife Varvara Kelch-Bazanova in 1904 — "Chanticleer Kelch". This product almost repeats the egg-clock "Cockerel" from the series of imperial Easter eggs Faberge and "Egg-clock Rothschild". However, compared to other Easter eggs, "Chanticleer" has a more complex mechanism and is one of the largest Easter eggs made by Faberge.
The Easter egg-watch is made of a tin-based jewelry alloy, decorated with crystals, transparent enamel, and encircled by a frieze of artificial pearls. The Easter egg has a clock embedded in it. The white dial is framed by a faux pearl ring. At the top of the Easter egg is a brightly enameled golden cockerel (chanticleer), decorated with crystals.
