Watch 1675 - 1685

This small silver pocket watch, created sometime between 1675 and 1685, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The watch, which features a detailed clock face and intricate engravings on its case, was likely a symbol of wealth and status during its time. While the artist, John Stiles, was born later in 1697, this watch serves as a glimpse into the artistry of watchmaking in the 17th century. This object is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
