Such a large watch was actually a portable clock. It was set on the table and could be carried around, in a wooden case. Originally made of glass, the cover of the case was replaced in Batavia (Jakarta). The timepiece had belonged to Governor-General Willem van Outhoorn (1635-1720), Petronella’s grandfather.
