Table watch or carriage watch in silver in a wooden case, from Governor-General Willem van Outhoorn, anonymous, 1670 - 1685 Canvas Print

Silver table watch in a wooden case. The movement and the case, openwork with flower and leaf vines, are probably European. The lid, decorated with a putto between tendrils in relief, will have been added in Batavia in 1694. The timepiece is signed: Batavia 1694 Noel Pol. Pol would have been the donor or seller, not the maker. The watch has a double link chain with a ring with copper key at the end. In the lid of the wooden case is a silver plate with a representation of Time and a saying. Richly decorated silver lock plates and hinge pieces. From Governor General Willem van Outhoorn (1635-1720), who bequeathed it to Jan Trip, the husband of his granddaughter Petronella Willemina van Hoorn. It came into her possession after Trip's death.
