Many thanks Arthur. The photo of the watch which belonged to the Crown Jewels shows it is a much more splendid jewel. (Thank you Lorenzo for the photo of this item) Yet, I find some charm in the "lesser jewel" as you call it, as it is something a person could wear on a greater number of occasions. Normally the more ordinary, every day jewels do not impress me as much as the watch under question does - but it is all very much a matter of individual taste. I suspect that, design wise for watches, the smaller watch of the Empress is more significant, but I know I could be incorrect as I have no information about the mechanism of the heavily bejeweled watch in the Crown Jewel collection.
