HOT ! Antique Swiss Mauve Enamel Pocket Watch & Chain

Description:

A refined antique Swiss pendant watch and matching bar-link chain, bathed in translucent mauve-blue guilloché Enamel and decorated with delicate Gold garlands, tiny stars and a floral bouquet. The circular case is crowned with a fluted winder and triangular bow, while the dial presents black Arabic numerals framed by a coordinating blue Enamel bezel for a beautifully cohesive look. An Enamelled arrow-link connector and the elegant blue guilloché bar-link chain complete the ensemble with effortless Victorian poise.

Crafted in Silver with richly glossy Enamel, this coordinated watch-and-chain set epitomises late 19th-century neoclassical taste. The chain closes with a spring ring and bears a Swiss bear stamp on the jump ring, underscoring its Swiss origin. A poetic jewel, whether worn as a pendant or collected as an objet de vertu; please note the movement is not currently running.
