Working History — C. 1800
Watch, cylinder watch
Gold watch in the shape of a strawberry, probably Swiss. Set with diamonds, and probably with pearls, the case is enamelled in translucent green to represent leaves, and in blue and red to represent the fruit. The dial plate is enamelled dark blue and the balance is set with diamonds. The watch retains its original case.
There is a similar watch in the Olivier Collection in the Louvre, which is thought to be French or Swiss.
