A gorgeous everyday working watch made for the golden guys and gals of the 1930s! Lapel watches emerged in the early 20th century as a popular alternative to pocket watches. Their smaller, more delicate movements made them lighter and more efficient, as one could now simply look down and see the time– perfect for when you have your hands full! The watch is cleverly designed to hang upside down in perfect view of the wearer. This fine example is set in warm, rich yellow gold and hangs from a matching brooch made of simple, yet refined geometric forms. Made in the 1930s, its aesthetic bridges the Art Deco and Retro eras, mixing deco angles and shapes with the bold scale and clean designs of the retro period. Today, lapel or 'fob' watches are still in use by working professionals, especially in the medical profession. This handsome lapel watch is a fine choice for those who need to keep track of time in style– and without reaching for a device or having something on their wrist!
