Watch, Dial and Frame

Harry G. Aberdeen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a pocket watch design, displaying various views and components. The top left shows the watch face with black Arabic numerals and a subdial for seconds. The watch is encased in a round metal frame with a loop for attachment, featuring the words "Trenton Watch Company." Below that, there's an exposed view of the watch mechanism with gears and springs, signed by "Trenton Watch Co. U.S.A" and a patent number. On the top right is an ornamental design, possibly for the watch's back cover, with floral patterns and a central medallion. There's also an illustration labeled "Exact Size" for scale reference. The drawing presents technical details and artistic design elements, likely for manufacturing or marketing purposes.
