Maker & History
Cocktail watches were conceived as both jewelry and practical timepieces. Small mechanical movements allowed designers to combine petite dials with decorative bracelets, while geometric motifs and textured metalwork recalled the influence of Art Deco. This unsigned example has not been attributed to a particular maker.

Why we love it

Sourced by Marina
