Made from silk threads… As you can see it has a pretty curved edge in blue… Then a cream inner band and a cream background on which is a vase of flowers…… The colours have faded somewhat and I can see brown, reds, fawn, beige and green. This one is not dated and it has not got any initials on it… But please be assured it is still of the Georgian period….. It was in the back of a silver pair cased pocket watch with a date of 1786. A pair cased pocket watch has an outer case.. These fit in that case so the back of the actual silver pocket watch does not scratch on the outer case… It makes a snug fit….

Watch adjusted to at least five positions: Face up and face down (the positions a watch might commonly take when laid on a flat surface); then crown up, crown pointing left, and crown pointing right (the positions a watch might commonly take in a pocket). Occasionally a sixth position, crown pointing down, would be included. Adjusted for severe temperature variance and isochronism (variance in spring tension).

Lever used to set the time (no risk of inadvertently setting the watch to an erroneous time, when winding the watch with the stem).
