Description

This necklace watch belonged to my great grandmother. It has been passed down through the family. It has no marks on it that I can distinguish to identify the maker. I know she spent time in China as the wife of an American Advisor to China. There is a story about her husband either giving this watch to her, or making it for her? No one knows for sure. The face opens, and there appear to be Four small rubies in the back (workings) of the watch. The stem appears to have a saphire or other blue gem affixed to it.

Sorry, I dont know more about it, but any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
