<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 2426411, member: 13430"]When I was first trying to find info on this watch passed down in my wife's family, I didn't know about this site, or I would have posted it with questions then. But I was able to locate someone who knows about the company, so was able to find out more about it. I just thought I'd share it here. This ladies watch was bought around 1900 at Bigelow Kennard, a Boston Jeweler for my wife's 2nd great aunt. It's a Swiss watch made by Haas Neveux & Co., a high quality maker a step below Patek. Of all the heirlooms in my wife's family, I think this is my favorite. I think it was well liked by the owner as well, as it shows signs of frequent use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Face of watch and front of jeweled brooch.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]264110[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Back of watch and brooch.
