Watch 1800 - 1815

Ferdinand Berthoud's "Watch" (1800-1815) is a meticulously crafted pocket watch featuring a silver, intricately detailed exterior. It showcases a circular dial with Roman numerals, a star-shaped hand, and a decorative frame adorned with figures and a clockwork mechanism. The intricate design and craftsmanship exemplify the high standards of horological artistry during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the precision and beauty of early watchmaking.
