About this piece

High Art Deco at its finest and most strikingly dramatic, this spectacular work of wearable art will rival any jewel of its kind by the most renowned French jewelers of the Jazz Age. Measuring 3 1/4 inches long, the elongated rectangular watch case is designed around five central square Asscher-cut diamonds (together weighing 1.50 carats), framed in turn by buff-top calibre jade, slender calibre black onyx, and sparkling Swiss-cuts (old European single-cut diamonds). The timepiece swings and sways from a fob chain composed of gently graduated tonneau-shaped black onyx and small round diamonds surmounted by a matching jade, onyx, and diamond brooch. The high-grade movement is by C. Pourrat (Renee Lalique used a Pourrat watch movement for his watch). A truly singular and splendid Art Deco masterpiece. Hand fabricated. Total diamond weight, 3.61 carats. Condition note: two onyx stones have cracks.
