1670-1675 French Watch at the Metropolitan Museum of Watch, New York - I love the gold filigree work on this piece. After looking at numerous watch cases from the 17th century, each one incredibly ornate and intricate, I'm starting to believe that watches themselves were luxury goods that people would show off as a reflection of their socio-economic status. Would someone who knows more on this be able to enlighten us?
