People began to wear wrist watches at the beginning of the 20th century. At first, the models were plain round, clock shapes. In the twenties, variations in wrist watches, and of designs, became bigger: square, rectangular, oval and octagonal watches came into fashion. The watches that were designed at that time had clear lines and distinct numerals. During the 30's designs became more theatrical, particularly in combination with lavish bracelets.
The Art Deco web store has several sorts of classical wrist watches on offer online. Newly made models with a distinctive design, reproduced after an authentic design or based on characteristic styles and designers. We have designs inspired by the famous stylised roses and cubes of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 - 1928). The finish can be of silver and/or gold. Also, there are artistic watches, forged manually (embossed and beaten silver, Sterling silver) in which classical roses, scrolls and gemstones have come together to be admired. Watches are practical for checking the time, but at the same time have a function as arm or wrist jewellery. Notice the extravagant bracelets, usually set with marcasite minerals, rubies, Swarovski crystals, pearls, gemstones such as amethyst and opal triplet, or notice the bracelet of a wrist watch in an openwork pattern, consisting of segments. The bracelet can be shortened, if necessary, by removing links (or having them removed). Bracelets of wrist watches with harmonious designs, in which the timepiece is a beautiful focal point. Of course, watches with a basic leather band are also on offer. An Art Deco watch is a joy to wear and will guaranteed get a lot of admiration!
