Design
- Visible features
- • Retractable or sliding cylindrical outer covers reveal the rectangular watch case in the center. • Black enamel outer panels are painted with violet, white, and green floral designs. • A gold-tone tassel hangs from the lower end while the upper loop connects to a swivel clasp and chain.
- External Decoration
- The outer panels of the pendant housing are finished in black enamel. This surface is embellished with painted floral motifs incorporating violet, white, and green color schemes. The aesthetic includes gold-toned metalwork, which includes a decorative tassel suspended from the base of the pendant. The upper portion terminates in a loop designed for connection to a chain.
- Construction and Mechanics
- The pendant watch utilizes a retractable mechanism featuring sliding cylindrical outer covers. When manipulated, these covers transition the piece from a closed pendant state measuring 32.2 mm to an open configuration measuring 49.5 mm, exposing a 12 by 17 mm rectangular watch case at the center. The timepiece functions on a two-hand battery-powered quartz movement. As reported by the seller, the dial is finished in a champagne color, featuring a Roman numeral at the twelve o'clock position, black stick hour markers, and gold-toned hands.
- Attribution and Uncertainties
- The watch is marked 'Swiss Made' and signed with the Bucherer name on the dial. The seller attributes the item to the 1980s; however, this date remains a report from the source. The associated multi-link chain is explicitly identified as bearing the signature 'American Metall'. It is not recorded whether this chain is an original component of the pendant or a later addition.
