ABOUT THIS WATCH

Both a horological and jewelry masterpiece, this extraordinary Art Deco watch by Ahlers & Co. (portrayed on the series The Gilded Age as a company established by an aspiring footman-turned-watchmaker) is brimming with exquisite details—and diamonds. The watch and its case were produced by watchmaker and Titanic survivor, Henry Blank. Octagonal in shape and engraved on the sides, the top of the case is deeply pierced to create a navette shape that surrounds the face of the watch and shimmers all over with single-cut diamonds, while a single rose-cut diamond glints atop the crown. The bracelet is composed of expandable links, intricately hand-engraved on their tops and sides, and two of them, which connect to the case, are set with diamonds. The reverse is engraved with a floral motif and bears the initials, "MKW." A rare and ravishing collectible. Total diamond weight, .75 carat. Hand fabricated in platinum, it has a Swiss 18-jewel movement and expands from 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
