Historical significance

  • The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogues this object under accession number 1964.416. Its listed materials are: gold, silver, pearls, diamonds and enamel.
  • Three names are listed as creators. The record does not say which person or firm made the movement, the case or the jewelled decoration, so no division of roles is assigned here.
  • The photograph shows a pearl-set border and enamelled, jewelled back. It suggests a luxury presentation object; it says nothing about timekeeping performance.
  • Running condition, movement type and current gallery display are not established by the retrieved record and are not asserted here.
