Description

A Silver coloured ladies’ fashion wristwatch featuring a teardrop-shaped case and a mother-of-pearl dial. The dial displays black Arabic numerals at the twelve, three, six, and nine positions, with a simple two-hand movement. The case is integrated into decorative openwork lugs designed in the Arts and Crafts style, featuring a foliate motif with stylized tulip-like buds. The watch is attached to a silver link chain terminating in a toggle clasp, accented by a pentagonal metal hang-tag bearing an embossed stylized floral symbol. The caseback is a polished flat surface stamped with the brand name PAST TIMES and the text STAINLESS STEEL CASEBACK. Small, worn marks are present on the reverse of the decorative lugs.


Condition report:

The watch exhibits moderate wear consistent with use. There is visible tarnishing and loss of the silver plating across the decorative openwork lugs and the link chain (photo 1 and 3). The caseback shows numerous fine surface scratches (photo 2). The watch glass appears intact without significant chips or cracks. The movement is untested.
