Curious Clocks Auction

Peter Henlein, a Nuremberg locksmith master, is regarded as the inventor of the first portable pocket watch around 1510. The so-called 'Nuremberg Eggs' were can-shaped watches made of brass with a mainspring and revolutionized timekeeping, as they could first display the time independently of stationary clocks. These watches were technical masterpieces of the Renaissance and symbolized the progress of mechanical engineering.

These replicas are very popular among watch collectors, history enthusiasts and lovers of historical timekeeping instruments. They offer the opportunity to own a significant piece of horological history.

This watch is a replica of the tin-can watch 'Nürnberger Ei' by Peter Henlein.
