The Stemwinder Collection
Late 19th century if you were ambitious and hard working you were a "stemwinder"- somebody who habitually wound his timepiece.
In 1913 a Hamilton watch add claimed their pocket watch to "lead it's owner to form desirable habits, of promptness and precision". Soon after that the watch was a obvious symbol of having attained "middle class" or "having arrived".
The watch face can symbolize different meanings to so many. It could be to give yourself the gift of time. It can represent new beginnings and opportunities or my favorite..time is a limited resource, must be used wisely.
At 20 inches long this statement necklace will lay gracefully along the collarbone. The brass link chain has a lobster clasp and a special, tiny, vintage button at the end. The authentic antique pocket watch face is perfectly imperfect. Accented with a brass druzy style bezel, and tiny vintage heart with crystal bead and vintage end cap. Dainty yet Bold and Beautiful. Could be paired with a plain white tee for a casual night out, or a classic black dress for a special occasion.
Perfectly unique gift for her.
