The Napoleonic Museum has a small but coherent group of pocket watches dating from the late 18th-early 19th century, the cases of which are decorated with embossing or enamel work. The Museum also has two other pocket watches, one that belonged to the Duke of Reichstadt - Napoleon's son - and the other to Napoleon III, as well as three extremely fine pendulum clocks from the Empire period. One of them, depicting a biscuit relief of the goddess Urania, is the work of Auguste Taunay. The last item is a precious Swiss-made table clock decorated with enamel and pearls, which belonged to Joseph Bonaparte. |
