Watch with a Classical Bust c. 1660 - 1690

This pocket watch, created by French artist Denis Bordier between 1660 and 1690, displays intricate enamel work. The watch's blue enamel background is decorated with colorful floral motifs, while the face features Roman numerals and a central flower. A hallmark of Bordier's work, the watch combines meticulous craftsmanship with a touch of 17th-century decorative style. While the function of the watch is clear, the aesthetic embellishments speak to the luxury and refinement of the era.
