About the Item

Watch Buttonhole Blued Steel, 1890 An amazing gadget from the late 19th century. White enamel with gold dots and Arabic numerals watch dial. This watch is supposed to be worn on a jacket buttonhole or a cufflink. The dial is inserted in a buttonhole to be visible, while the blued steel mechanism case is hidden inside the jacket. Fine Swiss Made movement (signed) needs some care as it does not run properly. A true future classic, its value will be sure to rise as time goes by. It is a perfect item both for a fine jewelry collection and to be worn for special occasions. This watch demands a special outfit and a sense of occasion. Well worth a fine jewelry collection.
