Clock 1685 - 1699

This small, intricately-designed clock, crafted by Joh Georg Wagner between 1685 and 1699, is a fine example of 17th-century German craftsmanship. The clock, housed in a hinged case with a velvet lining, features a silver dial with engraved floral motifs and an exposed gear mechanism. This portable clock, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the ingenuity and artistry of clockmaking during the Baroque period.
