<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 635056, member: 10012&quot;]This is a very nice married couple/ The pin is definitely prior to 1906 and after 1900. I&#039;m guessing that the watch is Swiss and probably made some years prior to the side date since it looks to be pin set. I&#039;m also guessing that it is a low (6) jeweled watch,w which was common and quite adequate. Chatelaine appears to be any item of jewelry that was attached by chain. Remember, or note, women of earlier eras had&nbsp; pockets and chains were pretty much multi-sex. Many men and women wore longer chains about their necks with watches and spectacles attached. They probably were put into pockets, vests, coats, lapels, waist, etc. with the chain draping across their chests. Many watches for the lapel had upside down faces (nurses watches). That way they could be tilted up directly and read. But perhaps a person had failing eyesight, then he or she might go for a long chain in order that the watch might be read more easily at a distance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
