@lewis_walduck: Made in around 1650 in The Hague, this extraordinary gold and enamel watch is one of the finest surviving examples of 17th-century enamel work you’ll find. Sculpted entirely in gold and decorated with exceptionally fine enamel, its fully three-dimensional case retains the vibrant colours it would have displayed more than 350 years ago. An almost identical example can be found in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, offering a fascinating insight into the artistry behind these remarkable objects. Today, this watch resides in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum. #Horology #AntiqueWatches #AshmoleanMuseum #DutchCraftsmanship #RareWatches
