This Is Not Your Grandfather's Pocket Watch

When they were first invented in the early 1500s, pocket watches were all the rage Today, a new collection from Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche reimagines the appearance for the pocket watch Her designs can make a style statement on their own, but Aiche's devotees often wear them in layers and stacks.

A pocket watch enthusiast from a young age, Aiche dipped into her own personal collection to create these new one-of-a-kind pendant necklaces "I thought it was time to turn the pocket watch into a real jewelry piece," says Aiche, who applies her own boho-chic style to the historic designs by hand-carving inscriptions and detailed evil eyes onto the timepiece's dial and case "The pocket watch is historical and beautiful.

They also symbolize the importance of time, which I think is really cool," says Aiche Plus, because each 14-karat-gold pocket watch works, they are equal parts eye-catching accessory and convenient piece of functional fashion. . Source
