Incredible coq-d'or massive floral bouquet watch pin
If you do not have the pleasure of owning a watch pin, this is the one to take home and cherish.. This reminds me of those wonderful retro pins produced by Reja'. By far this is a real crowd pleaser and one watch you will wear often.This large 3-deminsionl floral bouquet is a pin and a watch. (It can also have a chain attached and worn as a pendant.) You attach the pin upside down so you simply look down and tell the time. If you want to wear it right side up, we won't tell. The flowers are so lush they are cascading over the basket and the cherry red cabochons look like real rubies. The watch keeps accurate time and runs well. It is a seven jewel movement and has a Swiss movement. The watch face is signed Coq-D'Or, probably named after the famous play based on the 1910 renowned poem of Pushkin's, The House of the Weather Cock. It was manufactured by The Lion Watch Company and probably European.The pin measures 2 1/8" by 2 1/8" tapering at the bottom to 1/2"and mounds 1" in height. It is in excellent vintage condition with no cracks or breaks and guaranteed to be vintagejewelryonline.com
