Dating from circa 1930, this elegant lady's Art Deco cocktail watch by Universal Watch reflects the refined geometric aesthetics of the interwar period, when wristwatches increasingly became expressions of style as well as function.
Crafted in platinum and set with diamonds, the elongated rectangular case embodies the clean architectural lines of the Art Deco movement, enhanced by a diamond-set bezel and articulated lugs. The silvered dial, with Arabic numerals and blued steel hands, ensures clarity within a highly decorative composition.
Combining precious materials, elegant proportions, and mechanical precision, this piece stands as a fine example of early 20th-century Swiss cocktail watch design, where jewellery and horology meet seamlessly.
