专家说明

The present watch was most likely made in Friedberg near Augsburg in Germany. As of the late 17th century, Friedberg had become a watchmaking centre, to date over 350 active watchmakers have been recorded. The clocks, coach watches and others were sold to clients and retailers in Germany and the rest of Europe, the movements often made in the style of the relevant country. The cases, mainly in silver and of high quality, were produced in nearby Augsburg. The movements were often signed with the relevant retailers name, such as the present example which can be attributed to Benedict Fürstenfelder (died 1754) of Aichach (Eickstadt) and Friedberg. The repoussé scene depicts a scene from the Battle of Vienna of 1683.
