Watch
Watchmaker: Firm of D. Bachelard et Fils
Not on view
The cover of this watchcase is engraved with a view of the Roman Colosseum. At the time, it was popular for travelers to visit Italy, particularly Rome, as part of an extended trip known as the Grand Tour. While a wealthy aristocrat might come home with classical antiquities, a more modest traveler might purchase this watch as a smaller-scale souvenir of his travels.
