Horloge 1786 - 1787

"Horloge" is a small, gold pocket watch created by In. Curtis between 1786 and 1787. The watch features a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and a delicate, floral engraved case, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. The watch’s small size, at only 4 cm in diameter, is indicative of the trend for smaller, more portable timepieces during the late 18th century. This piece exemplifies the artistry and precision involved in horological design during the Age of Enlightenment, a time of significant advancements in mechanics and technology.
