Dating to circa the 1940s, this exceptional piece is set with 18 vibrant, fiery rubies arranged in a striking circular halo, with six sparkling diamond accents adorning the shoulders. Combining the practicality of a fine mechanical watch with the presence of a statement bracelet, it is as much a piece of evening jewellery as it is a timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch reflects an era in which luxury wristwatches were designed to catch the light at elegant social occasions and were often treated as fine jewellery. Luston was among the smaller Swiss boutique brands of the period, and this model was produced in partnership with the Stetson Watch Co., a US-registered importer of Swiss movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the post-war luxury boom of the 1940s and 1950s, independent jewellers and private-label brands commonly paired dependable Swiss mechanical movements with locally crafted solid-gold and gemstone-set cases and bracelets. These exclusive creations were designed for discerning regional clientele, and this Luston is a particularly beautiful example of that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch remains in excellent working order and is presented in fantastic vintage condition, with only very light signs of careful wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eIt is accompanied by a stunning presentation box signed Edward \u0026amp; Sons Ltd, Diamond Merchants, 92 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, beneath a royal-warrant crest reading “To His Majesty The King”.
