This open faced watch was made by the well-known French clock and watch maker, Robert Robin (1741-1799), who included Marie-Antoinette within his clientele. Richly decorated pocket watches and chatelaines were typical for that time.

One of Robin's other notable achievements was creating a watch escapement that bears his name.
