This is a picture of the watch I designed as a boy. I created this innovation was while I was working with my father who was a watch maker. My innovation allowed watches to be smaller. One of the watches I made was sold to a mistress of Louis XV. This was what introduced me to the royal court.

These watches are of great design. You obviously had great talent as a young man. Have you continued you work currently? I do hope so because this is truly magnificent. I wished that we would have more interaction when I was a young girl, I would have loved to buy one of these works of art for my own father.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. I must say I admire the fact that you knew how to keep track of time! I could have defiantly used one of these in my early days of writing. I got a bit carried away sometimes, haha. This is also a pretty funny way to be introduced to the court! A very unique way if I do say so myself. We all have our ways though so admire you!
