The Sultan Abdul Medschid's watch, 1844. Creator: Unknown

The Sultan Abdul Medschid's watch, 1844. Watch made by...Messrs. Hart and Son, Cornhill...in a double gold case, the gold being of the standard of twenty-two carats; the back external case...is beautifully enamelled with flowers, within a border of arabesque scroll work. This part of the workmanship is truly exquisite; the brilliancy of the colours, and delicacy of the pencilling, surpasses anything of the kind that we have seen of foreign manufacture. The dial, ...is white opaque, enamelled on copper, similar to English watches in general; but the figures are Turkish characters. The hands are of blue steel, set with diamonds: one hand represents a dart, and the other a shorter dart, or arrow, with the crescent at one end'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
