This object is a pocket watch and pair case crafted from enamelled and engraved gold. The circular case features a decorative engraved border framing an ornate dial decorated with polychrome enamel floral motifs against a white ground. A golden chapter ring displays black Roman numerals for the hours. At the top of the case, a rounded pendant connects to a circular hanging bow.
The case was produced in Western Europe around 1650. The piece contains a later replacement movement made in Worcester around 1800 by Skarral & Co., bearing the number 14547. Additionally, the pendant bears a maker's mark consisting of the letters 'TC', and the suspension bow is recorded as a later replacement.
