Watch 1625 - 1635

"Watch" is a silver pocket watch created by Samuel Linaker between 1625 and 1635. The small, oval-shaped watch is typical of English pocket watches from the early 17th century and features Roman numeral hour markers, a single hand, and a simple, delicate design. The watch is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This work demonstrates the artistry of the English watchmakers of the period, who combined precision engineering with elegant design.
