Georgian 18ct Crystal Watch Fob

An exceptional and rare Georgian rock crystal “pool of light” watch fob, crafted in 18ct yellow gold. The circular crystal case reveals its fully visible working movement through a clear rock crystal dome on both sides, creating a captivating floating effect characteristic of “pool of light” jewellery.

The watch features a pristine white enamel dial with Roman numerals and blued-steel hands, suspended from a heavy double-stranded gold chain. Remarkably, it remains in working order and is accompanied by its original watch key — a rare survival from the early 19th century.

This piece embodies the technical precision and refined artistry of the Georgian era, making it both a functional timepiece and a striking pendant jewel.
