Step back in time with the exquisite French Victorian Yellow Gold Locket Watch, a masterful creation by Boudin Freres dating back to around 1850. This vintage treasure, impeccably preserved, was gifted in 1906 to Mademoiselle Henriette Debray, embodying not just the passage of time but the elegance of an era gone by. Far more than a mere timepiece, this locket-watch is a stunning piece of wearable art, featuring a dual-purpose design with front and back covers that open to reveal a locket. The porcelain dial, adorned with black Roman numerals and delicate hands, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period, while its mechanism is wound with a small key, included with the piece. The locket-watch is crafted from 18-karat yellow gold, weighing 32.9 grams, and is accented by a tiny gemstone in the pendant that marks the dial's location. Stamped with the signature of Boudin Freres, Geneve, No. 17289, this piece measures approximately 1-7/8 inches in length and 1-7/16 inches in width. It is a remarkable example of Art Deco style from France, circa 1850s, and remains in good condition, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
