Pocket watch with automaton
Description
The automaton scene on the back of this gold pocket watch with pearl tourage shows a cozy interior: In an interior on the left the wheel of a spinner turns, in the fireplace in the center a chicken on a spit in front of blazing flames, in the upper right a dog drives a mill wheel and on the right water flows into a fountain.
