Art Deco Diamond, Emerald and Rock Crystal Pendant Watch by Boucheron

A Boucheron pendant watch that is of archetypal Art Deco design and a highlight of a highly revered period. A diamond hoop leads to an intricate platinum diamond and emerald pendulum framed by black enamel and diamond foliate scrolls tapering to a large rock crystal which covers the watch face and can be moved to read the time. The numerical bezel in gold and white enamel decorates the top of a barrel enamelled in black and gold, set with repeated diamond channels above a bombé of diamonds set with a cabochon emerald to the centre. Mounted on platinum. Circa 1920s.

Platinum and diamond chain sold separately.

The Maison Boucheron’s creations exude a quintessentially French style. Frederic Boucheron was awarded the Legion d’Honneur in 1900 for his contribution to the industry, and was celebrated as one of the influential forerunners of the Art Nouveau style which swept through Europe and America at the turn of the 20th Century.
