Crafted by the skilled hands of Johan Bock, a renowned German watchmaker who was active in 1633, this masterpiece bears his signature on the movement. It is marked with a crowned V in a shield within a shaped reserve, indicating its Dutch import mark for large silver and gold between 1859 and 1909.
