Met Bestseller - Art Deco Evening Watch

ENLARGE

The Art Deco style is named after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925. Its popularity extended through the 1930s from Europe to the United States, and was applied by artists and architects to a wide variety of media. The aesthetic focused on simple forms, often geometric or stylized from nature, smooth lines, and bold colors. Art Deco jewelry favored geometrical compositions with little surface decoration and strong color contrasts integrating large gemstones. The original piece of jewelry on which the Museum’s evening watch is based is an English fire opal and diamond pendant made around 1930 that reflects the forms of some of the best Art Deco design. Produced in cooperation with The British Museum, London.

Rhodium-plate, with Austrian crystals and a mother-of-pearl dial. With Japanese movement. Length adjustable from 7 in. to 7 1/2 in., with removable extender link.
