Footnote
Note: James Cromar Watt was born in Aberdeen. He worked in precious metals and developed particular skills in the ancient techniques of gold granulation and translucent foiled enamelling. His work was exhibited in Turin in 1902 and illustrated in the Art Journal periodical of the time. Some of his pieces were strongly influenced by the enamel work of Phoebe Traquair and others were designed in association with the painter and stained glass artist, Douglas Strachan. His work is predominantly in the collection of Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum.
