    The item is a page of notes concerning a watch which belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots. It describes the watch in detail. It was thought to have been given to her by her husband Francis I of France. Other watches and time pieces are also described for comparison. Drawings of these can be seen in this collection (see Utensils and Furniture 50, Utensils and Furniture 52.1, Utensils and Furniture 52.2, and Utensils and Furniture 53).
