Do You Have the Time?

I just can't believe how quickly Christmas is approaching! I feel like I haven't got the time to do anything: cookies to be made, presents to be bought, presents to be wrapped, tree to pick out... man, I'm gonna be busy this weekend.

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.)
