Watch 1824 - 1825

"Watch" is a gold pocket watch created by S. I. Tobias in 1824-1825. The watch is made in a traditional style with Roman numerals for the hour markers and is intricately decorated with gold and silver floral accents. The watch is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. The small size of the watch, with a diameter of 2 inches, is indicative of the high status its owner likely held. Tobias, who tragically passed away in 1825, is known for creating high-quality watches that reflected the craftsmanship of his time.
