Watch 1685 - 1705

This pocket watch, crafted by English silversmith Richard Colston between 1685 and 1705, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the period. The watch's design features a circular silver dial with delicate engravings. The dial is adorned with Roman numerals marking the hours, along with the maker's name, "Colston," and the city of London, where it was made. The watch's tiny size, with a diameter of just 2 inches, speaks to the meticulous artistry involved in its creation and the burgeoning interest in portable timekeeping in the late 17th century.
