Watch 16th century

This small, intricately crafted watch, created by Nicolas Bernard in the 16th century, is a prime example of Renaissance-era goldsmithing. The watch's surface is densely covered in a pattern of delicate, interwoven flowers and leaves, emphasizing the craftsmanship and artistry of the period. This watch, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the skill of goldsmiths in the 16th century and the refined taste of its original owner.
