Art Deco Flip Top Rhinestone Swiss Bracelet Watch made by Carlton. The silvertone setting is in very good condition and the rhinestones are handset and bezel set, meaning that there is not a single one missing. This watch is extremely well made for a costume watch, with spring hinges and a secure double clasp. The two baguette rhinestones show slight darkening, but the remainder of the rhinestones are still in good condition and full of sparkle galore. I have swabbed them with a damp Q-tip to remove surface dirt. There is a very minute bit of wear on the back of the clasp, which does not show when the watch is worn. The winding stem and hands are in fine working order, but the watch appears to have been overwound at some point. It may need a new spring, or just an adjustment by a jeweler. I have no reason to believe this needs anything more than a minor repair. I have priced this watch as a non-working watch and can send it as is for you to have it repaired, or I can have it repaired for you and add the price of the repair (up to $20) to your total price. This vintage bracelet watch measures 6 1/2" long, perfect for the smaller wrist.
