You need the watches!
They are so much fun! I think only one of them actually works, but I don’t care! They are just so pretty.

Lol you may be right. I had a 14k gold ring watch with diamonds on the lid for years and finally let it go because I never wore it. I kinda miss it now. Not much, just a smidge :grin:

Then I found this group of enamel watch faces at a yard sale. I think the majority are from railroad watches. They are mostly 1 3/4" in diameter.
I framed them on padded black brocade backing.

It’s amazing that they are hand painted.

The lettering is less than 1mm

Those are absolutely gorgeous! Do you know which one is the oldest in your collection? Wondering if it’s the lady’s watch with the seed pearls? Thx for sharing.

I did look up the manufacturers, and all the pocket watches date around 1900-1912.

I collected watches that didn’t work with the intention of using the watch faces positioned in the hours of a clock. Then installing a battery wall clock movement in the center of them.

There is nothing like the detail from the years past. That’s all I have to really look at to determine that something is old.
