Fabulous pendant watch with a little bit of intriguing history and an unusual design. Watch was made by respected manufacturers Glycine; inside the cover, stamped 18k. Set with small rose cut diamonds to form the first owner’s monogram, IWH, for Irma Hoffman Welz. The face of the watch has her name instead of number markers, in green on a silvered dial. Blued steel hands. Diamonds are also set around the bail and in the watch stem itself. Green enamel around the outside. There is chipping to the enamel; I would guess this may be where someone tried to take the watch apart. It has been given a cursory cleaning and still works but needs to be looked at by a good watch maker as it runs quite slowly. Manual wind. I did some research and discovered that Irma Welz was married to Edward, the heir to a Brooklyn brewery, Welz and Zerweck. Her husband died in 1918 at 31, and his obituary in the New York Times was pretty well the only mention of Irma I could find. The family was quite prominent and it’s no wonder she would have had a high quality watch like this one. Looks gorgeous worn on a chain.
