Watch 1825 - 1835

This watch, created by Jean-Louis Moré between 1825 and 1835, is a beautiful example of French decorative arts. The watch case is adorned with a floral pattern executed in gold, black and red enamel. The intricate floral motif on the surface of this small, round pocket watch reflects the aesthetic taste of the early 19th century. The use of enamel is particularly striking, with its deep black background contrasting with the vibrant red and gold details. The watch is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
