Design For Watch
This is a Design for watch. We acquired it in 1927. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This object was donated by H. F. Beck.
![A luxurious round, twelve-sided pocket watch with Viennese-influenced design in a lively foliate pattern of emeralds, diamonds, and onyx surrounding a painted dial. The diamonds are placed in a pavé setting and attached with tiny prongs. Repeating stylized, wreath-like floral decorations are articulated in platinum with cut and unfaceted round, cabochon emeralds, with numerals of cut black gems. At the center, watch hands and the Longines brand name rest against a pale green leaves and pink berry pattern. Hour and minute positions are dotted around the edges and the text [SWISS] is marked at the bottom. The black onyx crown is placed above the 12 o'clock position and surrounded by a bow of pavé diamonds.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/310757_f496c080aada8f2f_n.jpg "Pocket Watch, 1922–25")
