About the Item

This is a WOW, WOW... WOW!!! Absolutely stunning Art Deco platinum and diamond Swiss-made, spring-wound wristwatch by Ollendorff circa the late 1920s! It's not just a timepiece, it's a gorgeous, luxurious and hand-crafted piece of historical fine jewelry. 56 diamonds, 2.0cttw. With its tiered rows of 16 round-cut glittering diamonds reaching from either side of the platinum case to the lugs, the design was likely inspired by the iconic terraced crown of the Chrysler Building in New York City. If the diamond and platinum case weren't luxe enough, the original watch band is comprised of two buckles set with 10 diamonds, leading to 30 chevron-shaped platinum links with milgrain detailing, each set with their own diamond as well! The watch has a total of 56 diamonds for approximately 2.0cttw. This watch is a sparkling show-stopper, a rare piece. Total length of 6.75 inches; suggested maximum wrist circumference is 6.5" for a comfortable fit. Links could be removed by your local jeweler if you prefer a smaller circumference. * Swiss movement * Model number 10456 * Seventeen jewels. The watch is fully jeweled, meaning that the watch uses jewels (in this case rubies) as bearings in the inner mechanical movement from the balance wheel all the way to the center wheel pivot. * Inside of caseback marked .900 PLAT .100 IRID The watch was serviced by a master watch craftsman in 2016. Runs and keeps time; please note future performance cannot be guaranteed due to the age of the piece. Free of monograms or inscriptions - the perfect clean canvas for your own personal gift message! The Ollendorff Watch Company was founded in 1868 by Isador Ollendorff. The company imported watches from Switzerland and was run by the family in New York City until it was sold to the Gotham Watch Company in 1956 and later merged with Winton Watch Company. For a fun glimpse back in time at the company and the time period, the last image is a vintage Ollendorff illustrated print advertisement featuring a swanky roaring 20's couple attending a college football game, with the gentleman anxiously checking his watch (presumably to see how much time is left in the game). The woman, intently scanning the field, holds a triangle pennant in her gloved hand (with a watch atop the glove, of course). The pennant is printed with the letter Y... Yale? In the background you can see the faint backdrop of the stadium and the players with their leather helmets in a tackle pile.
