It has been years since I owned a proper watch since my last one got stolen, so this was a great buy for me. Due to my obsession with vintage, I developed a love for vintage mechanical (wind-up) watches, and with my fair share of battery leaks, this was a rather refreshing switch for me. From the seventies and is two inches wide. Marked 'Trifari' and '17 Jewels' on the face, and 'Trifari' on the inside. A substantial piece that can be worn as a watch or bangle by switching sides.

The open-work gold metal is textured, and the off-center face lends an alluring, organic touch to this piece.
