Description:

Bucherer 17J ladies' brooch watch, gold flashed nickel movement with bold red ruby jewels, this has a nurse's watch configuration so when worn the 12 o'clock position is at the bottom of the watch allowing for the quick reading of the time when the wearer holds the watch up to view, silver-toned metal dial with raised silver Arabic numbers and markers has some short light scratches, black steel baton style hands with pointed tips.

Elaborate white base metal (WBM) Fond Acier rectangular pendant case with a flip-open cover to view the watch, sides and back of the case are smooth polish with the back marked "inoxydable" which we believe indicates a corrosion resistant stainless steel-like metal for the back cover, front flip-cover has been set with an elaborate cutout art deco flower accented with small faceted marcasite stones, glass crystal, stepped accents at the top & bottom, also set with marcasite, with a center connector that attaches the watch to the matching lapel pin via a flared drop.

Beautiful WBM art deco style bow lapel pin has a cutout design of a tied bow with trailing ribbons and a center raised bar, the entire surface has been finished with small faceted marcasite stones matching the watch case, back side of the pin has a traditional WBM pin stick to connect the pin to your person, which is hinged at one end and with a half-arc guide with a safety latch at the opposite end. Please note that while many of this style of Bucherer brooch watches did come in silver or Sterling silver, the markings on the back of this case do indicate it is not silver. The case & pin are showing light normal wear, set measures approx. 33mm wide x 60mm in length x 12mm thick.

This piece also comes with a dark blue & cream colored Bucherer jewelry box, exterior is covered with a dark blue satin, interior has a cream colored satin and dark blue velvet finish, box is in good overall condition however there is some fraying starting on the corners of the exterior-top along with some patina on the exterior metal accents. A very distinctive and high quality vintage watch & pin set from the mid-1950s in excellent+ overall condition!
