Pocket watch with movement by Longines, on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Longines (est. 1832) made this watch between 1922 and 1925. Vartanian & Sons, a New York City jeweler and watchmaker, designed and made the exterior. It consists of platinum, diamond, emeralds, and onyx. The design reflects Art Nouveau's emphasis on floral and plant lines and motifs.
