SALE Working Unusual Vintage Women's Elgin Watch - Pendant or Wrist Watch

Jewelry : Vintage : Watches

 

Yes, I do have a thing for vintage watches, and when I find a working Elgin, I always buy it and I can't keep them all, can I? I love winding watches and hearing them tick. There is nothing satisfying about a battery powered watch. Where is the sound, the craftsmanship, the panache?

This one started life as a pendant. There are no marks, but it looks like gold filled or rolled gold, the finish is fabulous. I'd guess, Circa 20's for the watch itself, it has lovely repousse work on the octagonal case, looks like Art Nouveau to me! It comes with a vintage Elgin Watch Box!

So, at some point, someone wanted a wrist watch so they added a nice speidel stretch band. It matches the watch in color perfectly and it could easily be converted back to a pendant at any time. It will fit up to a 7 1/2" wrist.

Please note: Decotini is owned by 2 friends in different states so you will be invoiced by Patt or Donna after purchase. Thanks.
