To make any money these days, ladies’ gold pendant watches do need an extra selling point – such as the Cartier name and plenty of Art Deco style.
This example, pictured above, offered at Bourne End Auctions (15% buyer’s premium) on September 6 was enamelled in red and black and included two attached jade rings. The silvered dial was signed Cartier and Bte S.G.D.E and the 15-jewel movement was signed European Clock and Watch Company, the firm set up by Edward Jaeger and Cartier in the 1920s.
