This silver pocket watch, made by Johann Georg Strasser around 1775, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the time. Its ornate design includes a detailed depiction of Father Time, a symbolic figure often associated with mortality and the passage of time. The watch's face is adorned with Roman numerals, while the back is embellished with intricate floral motifs, reflecting the aesthetic preferences of the 18th century.

Comments
This travelling watch was made by Johann Georg, Strasser, a clockmaker from Baden, Germany, who had, settled in St Petersburg at the invitation of Catherine, the Great. He crafted extraordinarily complex movements, for the empress, and his shop was considered one of, the city’s leading attractions. On the case is an ornately, engraved scene of the meeting of Apollo and Amphissa.
