Things gradually began to change as clocks became smaller and smaller, and transitioned to becoming link watches. For one thing, iron (which had also been used for early tower link clock movements) was gradually replaced by brass, which was usually given a gilt coating in order to discourage corrosion. The first generation of real, link portable watches featured movements given some degree of decoration almost immediately, and in particular, the balance cocks tended to be elaborately engraved.
