I'm pleased to offer a lovely ladies' gold pocket watch featuring an elegant design with old cut diamonds in 14K gold. Currently keeping time, it retains full Swiss hallmarks and looks gorgeous worn on a chain (please note that the chain shown in my photo is not included in the listing) Crafted of solid 14K yellow gold, the hunter style case is set with 5 fiery old cut diamonds in a classic Art Nouveau design. The dial is easy to read with Arabic numerals and a sub dial for seconds. The watch winds, ticks and is keeping time, though may benefit from a cleaning or adjustment, especially after shipping. In good condition, it is beautiful not just as a pendant, but as a timepiece. The outer gold case measures approximately 1 3/16 inches in diameter (30 mm), while the dial measures approximately 24 mm, as near as I can tell as it is still within the gold bezel of the case. I have not removed the watch from the case, so can only estimate that the pocket watch is a size 6/0. (it could be a little smaller or larger but is definitely a ladies' watch) The finished weight with case and movement is 23.52 grams. In good original condition, the dial has a pretty embossed design with black numerals and gold colored hands; the background color is a light creamy silvery color. I see very little wear under magnification - perhaps one mark, scratch or small hairline at the number "5." The crystal also remains in wonderful condition with almost no wear, even under magnification. There is no maker's name on the dial, so I am assuming the works were made for Ed. Barth in Zurich to sell, as his hallmark is inside the gold case. Multiple hallmarks are inside the gold case, including marks for 14K gold - ".585" in Europe, Swiss Squirrel marks that I believe have tiny "c" marks indicating being assayed in Chaux-de-Fonds (though the mark on the crown looks more like a "D" so it could be Delemont - the marks are very tiny), a crown (sometimes seen on Swiss watches that might be sold in Germany), a small maker's mark that could be a stylized "AH," and several numerals: "990" and "80990." There is also the mark of "Ed. Barth, Zurich." Of good quality, the chunky old diamonds (old European and Swiss cuts with open culets) measure approximately 1.8 mm, 2 mm and 1.8 mm in diameter for the three at the top of the design in the diamond shaped settings, and approximately 2.5 mm in diameter each for the two larger diamonds in the round settings, for an estimated total weight of .19 carats, or so. Bright and fiery, I would judge them to be in the H-I range of near-colorless. All are clean to the naked eye, with a couple of teeny tiny clear inclusions seen with magnification, so I would put them in the VS to SI range of clarity. They could use a cleaning, as could the gold in general. Overall, the watch is in very nice antique condition with light wear - the gold has most of its high karat bloomed finish on the front of the case, though one can see more of the underlying 14K gold on the back, where it was worn against the body. There is a small lever near the dial that allows one to set the time, rather than using the crown. The pocket watch comes in an antique leather case...

Art Deco Tiffany & Co. diamond, emerald and platinum wristwatch. A sublime period piece by a great House, this is an elegant and striking accent for the lady's wrist. Fine natural Colombian emeralds weighing an estimated 1.30 cts. All of the 20 emeralds match well in their vivid green color. These emeralds are accented with white diamonds. The 100 diamonds are estimated to weigh 1.54 cts., with a total fine gem weight of 2.84 cts. The watch is hand engraved on the verso as well as the sides. The winding mechanism is original. The mechanical movement is by C.H. Meylan, an early and extremely fine maker of watch movements. As is true of all of our watches, this has been cleaned and regulated by an expert watch-maker and is guaranteed for a year. This watch is 6. 3/4 inches long and in fine condition. Pierre/Famille Notes from the Conservator of the Collection: Relative to three of the world's best known jewelers, it has been hinted (but never explicitly stressed) that there was something about their internal corporate ethos that informed the most salient aspects of their compositions, the flashes of their virtuosity, the aspects of their work that makes Cartier - Cartier; makes Van Cleef & Arpels indeed Van Cleef and that makes Tiffany indelibly Tiffany. In the case of the latter, the example of the stunning platinum mesh, diamond and emerald wristwatch...
