Watch 1585 - 1595

This is a silver pocket watch dating back to the late 16th century, created by the artist R. Dieu, who was active during the same time period. The watch, small and delicate, features a round face with Roman numeral hour markers and intricate, ornate details. The watch is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This piece is an excellent example of 16th-century craftsmanship and reflects the growing interest in timekeeping during that era.
