Travelling watch
This travelling watch was made by Johann Georg, Strasser, a clockmaker from Baden, Germany, who had, settled in St Petersburg at the invitation of Catherine, the Great. He crafted extraordinarily complex movements, for the empress, and his shop was considered one of, the city’s leading attractions. On the case is an ornately, engraved scene of the meeting of Apollo and Amphissa.
