Sheffield Lavender Guilloché Enamel Bow Pin Watch, Edwardian Era

A rare and elegant Edwardian pin watch, made with luminous lavender-purple guilloché enamel, a color prized by collectors for both its rarity and technical difficulty. This piece was conceived as a complete jewel, integrating the watch into the design rather than serving as a removable holder. The form is richly decorative, featuring an enameled bow above a shield-shaped body accented with a crown motif. The softly shimmering guilloché ground beneath the enamel reveals the precision of the engine-turning process, a technique highly valued during the Edwardian era for its refinement and depth.

This pin watch comes from a collector’s treasure trove, assembled for beauty, artistry, and visual impact rather than mechanical precision. While the watch remains an integral part of the piece, it is best appreciated today as a decorative and collectible jewel, admired for its craftsmanship, color, and historic charm. The  ladies' watch hanging underneath the bow is currently winding and working, but stops after a while, it needs a professional cleaning inside if you intend to wear this. Graceful, feminine, and quietly rare, this pin watch reflects the artistry of early 20th-century enameling and makes a sophisticated addition to a curated antique jewelry collection.
