SWISS 20645 WITTNAUER & CO. GENEVE, PLATINE". Audemars Piguet & Co. In the 1870s, both Audemars and Piguet were working separately. Audemars created complicated watch movements for different manufacturers to then finish and fit into their own cases. Piguet performed the final regulation. After they started working together in 1875, they continued this split function in different ways. Audemars oversaw the production and technical aspects of the watches while Piguet focused his time on sales and management. The name Audemars Piguet & Cie was first used in 1881. In 1892, the brand created the first-minute repeater wristwatch. By 1899 the first Grand Complication pocket watch was released by the pair, featuring a minute repeater, alarm, perpetual calendar, deadbeat seconds, chronograph, and split-seconds hand. Audemars and Piguet both tragically passed away in 1918 and 1919, but the company continued forward and saw even more success. Continuing through to today, the brand was continued on by the next generation of Audemars and Piguet, this time sons Paul Louis Audemars and Paul Edward Piguet. During the early-mid 1900s, the manufacturer continued to push for innovation within the watch community. The thinnest pocket watch caliber was released by the brand in 1925, while the first skeletonized pocket watch was released in 1934. In 1946, the brand launched the world’s thinnest wristwatch. The first Audemars Piguet perpetual...

Vintage Drop Necklaces

Also called Y necklaces as they are designed to hang a certain way, vintage drop necklaces are striking and adaptable. They can enhance everything from a casual sweater-and-jeans combo to an elegant heels-and-evening-dress pairing.

Adornment is an ancient human practice, with archeologists identifying early jewelry made from bones, claws and shells. As technology has advanced, so too have jewelry designs and the design of necklaces, from the simple to the intricate.

Drop necklaces come from lariat-style necklaces, which are chain necklaces that end in a tassel or pendant. A drop necklace’s design, meanwhile, is long with open ends, and it usually does not have a clasp. It consists of a single chain that wraps around the neck and a centerpiece — sometimes featuring a diamond or pearls — that hangs down to the middle of the chest. Drop necklaces frequently come in lengths from 16 to 20 inches, with the vertical lines making them appear longer than other necklaces of the same length.

Drop necklaces are extremely versatile, able to be worn knotted, draped or looped. They can be chunky statement pieces or thin, minimal designs. The range of drop necklaces that can be found on 1stDibs can accentuate the plunging necklines of modern looks or add flair to a basic ensemble.
