This silver watch, made by the French firm Frères Wiss et Menu, dates from 1815 to 1845. The watch features an enamel dial with a detailed scene of a person and a giraffe standing near a building and palm tree, surrounded by floral motifs. This watch is an excellent example of 19th-century French craftsmanship, combining decorative enamel work and intricate metalwork. It's now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
