John Mitzell’s “Watch” (1697) is a finely crafted pocket watch with a silver face and Roman numeral hour markers. The watch’s case is crafted of tortoiseshell, a material favored in the 17th century. It is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the period and highlights the growing popularity of pocket watches as timekeeping devices. The watch is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
