18th Century Antique Pocket Watches

Baroque Elegance and Early Innovation

In the 1700s, pocket watches were intricate works of art and status. Crafted by master horologists, these timepieces often featured ornate gold or silver cases, delicate hand engravings, and enamel-painted scenes. Mechanically, they relied on verge or cylinder escapements, with fusee chains ensuring consistent power delivery. Wound by a key and carried in waistcoat pockets, these watches represented Enlightenment-era innovation—blending precision engineering with refined artistic expression.
