Watch 18th century

This small, silver watch, created in the 18th century by Debeaufré, is a beautiful example of a functional piece of art. The watch features a round, white enamel face with Roman numerals for hours and an intricate design surrounding the clock face. The small size of the watch (only 1 3/4 inches in diameter) indicates that it was likely a pocket watch meant to be carried by an individual, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the 18th century. This watch is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
