Elegant and sophisticated with an edge! Steampunk watch movement necklace featuring an antique Swiss vintage watch movement with exposed gears, seventeen jewel bearings and intricate mechanisms set on an antiqued brass teardrop pendant. You will feel awesome wearing this necklace! ABOUT THE DESIGN: 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 An emblem of a past era of craftsmanship, these mechanical watches have real or synthetic jewel bearings, originally made with ruby, garnet, diamond, and sapphire.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! MATERIALS & MEASUREMENTS: * This watch will not tell you the time, as it is now in the upcycled phase of its life. * The antiqued brass chain measures approximately 18" and is adjustable. * The pendant measures 1.25" wide and 1.75" tall * The back of the pendant has a compass rose stamping detail. * All items come in a gift box.
