This extraordinary pendant watch was crafted by C. Marcks & Co., one of the premier jewelers in India. Taking the form of an exotic dragon, the highly unique timepiece is formed of meticulously worked 18K yellow gold inset with diamonds. An A10J manual movement powers the timepiece, which tells the time on its original enamel dial with both Arabic and Roman numerals. A work of art in and of itself, this extraordinary dragon is suspended from an elegant diamond-encrusted pin that allows one to secure it to their lapel. Stunning in its artistry and craftsmanship, this watch flawlessly reflects the whimsical beauty and naturalist aesthetics that define the Art Nouveau style. Circa 1890
