The Watch 1505/ˌwɒtʃfɪfˈtiːnˈəʊˈfɑːɪv/ (also named PHN1505 or Pomander Watch of 1505) is the world's first watch. It was crafted by the German inventor, locksmith and watchmaker Peter Henlein from Nuremberg, during the year 1505, in the early German Renaissance period, as part of the Northern Renaissance.[1][2][3] However, other German clockmakers were creating miniature timepieces during this period, and there is no definite evidence Henlein was the first.[4][5] It is the oldest watch in the world that still works. The watch is a small fire-gilded copper sphere, an oriental pomander, and combines German engineering with Oriental influences.[6]
In 1987, the watch reappeared at an antiques and flea market in London.[1] The initial price estimation for this watch is between 50 and 80 million dollars (May 2014).[7]
