"Unveiling the Timeless Elegance: The Fob Watch" Step into the world of horological marvels with Beethoven's watch, a remarkable timepiece from 1800. Crafted meticulously with steel and silver case, adorned with gold hands and an exquisite dial made of enamel on copper, this a true masterpiece. An extremely fine and historically interesting presentation watch, it comes complete with a matching chain that adds to its allure. Its openface keyless one-minute tourbillon mechanism showcases the ingenuity of Breguet no. , making it a collector's dream. Transporting us back in time is the Montre à tact pocketwatch, No. 2878, sold in 1815. This golden beauty holds both aesthetic charm and historical significance (see also 780683-4), capturing hearts through centuries. In "Portrait of a Lady Holding a Timepiece, " an oil-on-panel artwork immortalizes the elegance associated with fob watches. A symbol of refinement and sophistication, these timepieces were treasured possessions throughout history. Delving further into artistry is "Dutch Burgher, " depicted in an oil-on-canvas masterpiece from 1643. Here we witness how fob watches became status symbols among nobility during this era. "London Watchman with his Lantern by Moonlight" takes us on an engraved journey to 1776 when fob watches played vital roles in keeping cities safe at night while adding grace to their wearers' attire. George III mean and sidereal pocket chronometer steals our attention next; its Z balance mechanism showcases precision engineering (No. 2). This metal-and-enamel wonder reminds us why fob watches were coveted by those seeking accuracy alongside style. A glimpse into history reveals another gem - the gold pair-cased cylinder watch boasting quarter repeat functionality from 1744 (gold) (see also 1217830-1). This timepiece showcases the craftsmanship and innovation of its era.
