We are very excited to have acquired a number of these original unused watch chains, which work brilliantly with our waistcoats.
They were manufactured by Jakob Bengel, a chain and costume jewellery factory, founded by Jakob Bengel in 1873 in Germany.
Until 1920, the company specialised in the production of watch chains and chatelaines (pendants for pocket watches). In the 1920's and 1930's, it became one of the leading manufactures of fashion jewellery in the Art Deco style.
It was during the Bauhaus and Art Deco period that designers were looking to obtain new materials and inspiration to produce costume jewellery. Inspired by French Avant-Garde and other fashion trendsetters such as Coco Chanel, Bengel started to produce experimental jewellery. The pieces, catalogued from 1924-1939, combined brass and chrome with geometric shapes of coloured galalith.
The watch chains themselves are therefore probably brass or chrome, but being vintage we cannot say this with any certainty. Please note these watch chains come in variations and may have marks or scuffs as they are vintage originals.
Total length approximately 25cm or 10in.
With the exception of colour 21, which is 46cm or 18in in length.

These replica pocket watches are not recommended if you want anything other than very approximate timekeeping. They are really best regarded as props although they do work. Some even have second hands (which tend to fall off...)
They do however do come complete with watch chains and are delightfully well detailed pieces. All open and some are half hunters which means you can get a rough idea of the time without needing to spring the front open.
They come in several different styles and make great Steam Punk accessories.
These watches vary from one batch to another so we cannot guarantee that the image shown is exactly what you will get but the colourway is fairly reliable.
Please note that we cannot send these watches to USA and Canada as they get held up in customs!
Please do not buy them if you expect to receive an accurate timepiece.

We're not pulling any punches with these watches, they are not made in Switzerland, the straps aren't leather and they won't withstand immersion in water.
However, if you need some vaguely period wristwatches for extras or people lurking around the back of a stage in a near blackout, they are perfect. And they even tell the time, approximately.
Actual watch may vary from image
