During the Art Deco period, which flourished from the 1920s to the 1930s, there was a fascination with geometric shapes, sleek lines, and lavish materials, all of which are reflected in some exquisite timepieces. Pocket watches were some of the most explored by brands to create such incredible objects, often using precious materials such as platinum and adorned with accents of onyx and diamonds, epitomizing the luxury and sophistication of the era. The watch offered here is such a charming creation, featuring a solid 44mm case manufactured in platinum with accents and back in onyx. Despite its age, it has been preserved in fair condition, maintaining its allure and historical significance. The bezel is adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, adding a touch of elegance and opulence to the design. This decoration is further echoed in the Arabic numerals on the dial, all adorned with precious stones, as well as the hours and minutes hands. The striking aesthetic and historical significance of Art Deco pocket watches make them highly desirable collector's items, symbolizing the glamour and opulence of the Art Deco period. Each piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the era, showcasing the ingenuity and style of the designers and artisans who created them.
