Watch c. 1755

"Watch" is a pocket watch created by French watchmaker Jean-Baptiste Baillon, circa 1755. The watch's design is characteristic of the Rococo period, with its delicate, ornate details and emphasis on symmetry. This piece highlights Baillon's skill as a watchmaker during his short but prolific career. The watch features a white enamel dial, a chain, and a delicate hand with a diamond on the end. This pocket watch is a beautiful example of 18th-century horological craftsmanship.
