Watch

Workshop of Wetherell & Janaway

Not on view

The design of this watch, with its pearl-encircled, pure white enamel dial and easy-to-read Arabic numerals, is an unusually elegant one for the period. The case, too, is forward looking: it is slimmer than most contemporary watches, although not so thin as to be unable to accommodate a verge escapement.
