The working in these is amazing, Great silversmithing and I can imagine were only for better watches.
Sorry for my ignorance: would these have been attached to the watch chain, and if so, where?
Hi Karen. Yes they'd be attached to the Albert chain or Albertina in the case of a ladies chain near the actual pocket watch so the watch could be wound up in situ. Many albert/albertina also had decorative fobs which are also a very collectable items.
