Steampunk Bracelet Watch Movement Antique Jeweled Mechanisms Statement Bracelet on Silver Filigree by Compass Rose Design This fabulous statement bracelet is made with five jeweled antique watch movements set on silver filigree with a high quality silver plated toggle clock design clasp. The watches are all complete jeweled mechanisms from Waltham and Eterna watch companies. The watch movements date between 1920 and 1960. This watch will not tell you the time, as it is more than 50 years old and is now in the upcycled phase of its life. This part of the watch would only be visible when cleaning and maintaining the watch, a testament to the true craftsmanship and pride in work of the watchmakers. This bracelet measures 7 3/4". Each watch medallion link measures .75". See photos for details. The fourth photo shows a selection of late Victorian era photos with a collection of watches similar to those I used for this piece. 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 An emblem of a past era of craftsmanship, these mechanical watches have real or synthetic jewel bearings, originally made with ruby, garnet, diamond, and sapphire.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. Celebrate analog! All items come in a gift box.
