That got me thinking about watches, and how much I adore a good vintage watch find. There are some wonderful timepieces to be found in thrift stores, but they usually need a little work. The fully restored ones are a dream for most of us, but so lovely to look at:
Ladies 1950's Vintage Bracelet Watch, $1250
Ladies Antique Wittnauer 1940's Watch, $250
18K and White Gold (with diamonds) Bucherer Ladies Watch, $375
Deadstock Funky 1960's Ladies Croton Troparctic Watch, $99
Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch, $325
Verger Art Nouveau Watch with Pearls, Platinum and diamonds, Circa 1913 (hand painted face), $19,000
(Note: Verger was a famous Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry designer who produced pieces for many high end jewelry shops like Cartier)
1950's Pink 18K LeCoultre Watch, $1750
(Aside: My boss is laughing so hard in his office, I'm afraid he may burst something! He's been going for like, five minutes straight now.)

Hope your boss busts a gut.....!!!
I love vintage watches,I buy them at estate sales and send them to India to be repaired.They charge like 2-3 dollars and Voila good as new!!!
The Verger is beautiful.
As soon as I scrolled to the Art Nouveau one I wanted it! Before I even saw it was labeled "art nouveau" and saw the horrifying price tag. Surely it is a curse to have expensive taste!
And yes, the clock is ticking for Christmas.
I love watches. It's impossible to have to many! I think the last one is especially nice.
Ok if I know next to nothing about jewelry, I know absolutely jack about watches. The ones you have selected are fab...but how does one sport an antique watch??
Watches are so cool. But sadly I rarely wear one, as I usually have my cell phone with me at all times. Eleven days til Christmas. Ahh.. So little time!
Vintage watches are the way to go! I can't pick a favorite.
Exquisite finds!
ill have that one for $19000 - thanks! its BEAUTIFUL!!!

Ohh I love that first watch it looks like a beautiful bracelet!
You always find the most unique pieces!
That first one just reaffirms my love for shiny things. Too bad there's tuition to pay for instead! Lovely as always!
My fav is the first one, it's lovely, I think old vintage clocks are nice, but that one is so beautiful! great post
