This silver watch, crafted by Henry Grendon between 1635 and 1655, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the period. Its ornate design features a circular dial with Roman numerals and intricate floral motifs, all enclosed within a delicately patterned, oval-shaped case. The watch's small size and intricate detail make it a fine example of a pocket watch, a popular accessory in the 17th century, showcasing the precision engineering and artistic sensibility of the time.
