I am curious as to the value of this watch. It is small, perhaps an inch across. It is blue, with a gold color leaf inlay, perhaps mother of pearl? This was Dad's guess. I am told it is a ladies watch, and has a leather case that would allow one to wear it on the wrist. It is very old, and runs. I have been told it is a "Fascinator" ladies watch, and also that it is very rare. My father left me this watch when he passed on, and was never able to find it's value, he inquired once, and was followed out of the store and harrassed to sell it. He felt dealing with this type of people he would not get a fair quote on what it is worth, and the watch was not for sale to begin with. This scared him, and he never inquired any furhter, but was told by another jeweler that there were few in existence. I am curious myself as to its origin, and what its value may be. I know little of the history of antique watches, and would appreciate any help in finding out more about it. Thanks | ||

Sorry, but I have never heard of the brand, perhaps a picture would help us establish what it is. | ||

Thanks for the reply. This picture was made using a flatbed scanner, so the quality may not be that great. http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/bara35/watch/Fascinator-h.jpg Hope the pic is good enough to help someone identify this watch. Thanks again. | ||

Hmm. not sure what it is. Can you describe the hallmarks on the inside of the case back? Maybe that'll tell us something. |
