Watch 1800 - 1815

"Watch" is a delicate and intricately crafted piece of jewelry made by Modge between 1800 and 1815. The watch, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The intricate filigree design, adorned with delicate pearls and a central circular panel depicting a floral motif, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent in the early 19th century. The watch's small size, measuring only 3 x 2 inches, highlights the skill required to achieve such intricate detail within a limited space.
