Watch 1785 - 1799

"Watch" is a silver pocket watch made by Pierre Gregson, a British watchmaker who tragically died at a young age in 1795. Created between 1785 and 1799, the watch features an intricate engraved design and a painted scene depicting a woman in a classical style. The watch is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. This finely-crafted piece is a testament to Gregson's talent as a watchmaker and serves as a reminder of the rich history of decorative arts in the late 18th century.
