http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainmen ... 313893.stmThe first watches appeared shortly after 1500 in Germany and horologists believe the picture, painted by renaissance master Maso da San Friano around 1560, "may well be the oldest to show a true watch".
That's fascinating. Thanks. It actually looks a bit smaller than modern pocket watches.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone could do a modern homage of it (at an affordable price)?
