Watch ca. 1770-80 Case maker: Attributed to Christian Gottlieb Stiehl This watchcase displays a technique of setting hardstones in gold that is usually associated with Johann Christian Neuber (1736-1808) of Dresden, although it was probably inspired by enameled gold watchcases made in Paris a few years earlier. Stiehl, who held appointments to Augustus the Strong, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony (1670-1733), and his successor, Augustus III (1696-1763), is known for his floral designs, which are freer and less geometric than Neubers. The movement may also have been made in Dresden. P.J. Marperger, author of Horologiographia (Dresden, 1723), a book on the watch and clock market in Germany, wrote that “some important people.. simply cannot appreciate anything that does not come from France or England.” He advocated a heavy tax on foreign clocks and watches in addition to allowing accredited (meaning German) clockmakers to engrave London or Geneva on their dials..
