ABOUT THE DESIGN: A great gift for your father, brother, husband, groomsman, colleague, or boy friend! The Victorian era was a bridge between old traditions and new technologies. At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert received the first mechanical keyless wind watches, making pocket watches and watch fobs popular for both men and women until the mid 20th century. While pocket watches had been worn for more than a century, wrist watches were introduced around 1900, called "wristlets" were introduced, in part because of the development of a more affordable jewel bearings production process, which made smaller, more accurate watches possible. Assumed to be a passing fad, wrist watches caught on and were most popular in the 1920s and 1930s, which is why most of the watches I work with are Art Deco from this period. An emblem of a past era of craftsmanship, these mechanical watches have real or synthetic jewel bearings, originally made with ruby, garnet, diamond, and sapphire. Many watches have the name of the watch maker, intricate tooling or design work, seen only when the watch was repaired, cleaned, and maintained. Wear History! MEASUREMENTS & MATERIALS: * The silver plated tie bar is 2" long and 1/4" wide. * The watch movement is about 1/2" long. * THIS PIECE IS SOLDERED - NOT glued. Guaranteed to last. * One of the photos shows an assortment of antique watches and a late Victorian photo for historical context. * All items come in a gift box. Compass Rose Design revives historic heirlooms into wearable art. Everything in our shop is handmade in our studio just north of San Francisco, California.
