Marcus & Co. Edwardian Gold and Enamel Pendant Watch with Chain

Antique Marcus & Co. Gold Guilloché Enamel Pendant Watch with Diamond Motif and Pearl Chain

An exceptional Edwardian ladies’ pendant watch by Marcus & Co., crafted in gold and adorned with deep red guilloché enamel, a diamond-set motif, and accompanied by its elegant pearl-accented chain.

This remarkable pendant watch by Marcus & Co. reflects the refined luxury and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era. Created in gold during the early 20th century, the piece embodies the balance of delicacy and precision that defined fine American jewelry of the period.

The case is decorated with richly toned burgundy guilloché enamel, applied over an engine-turned ground that produces a striking radiating effect beneath the translucent enamel surface. At the center, a finely executed diamond-set floral motif adds subtle brilliance and dimension, elevating the watch from a practical timepiece to a true jewel.

The dial remains elegantly restrained, featuring classic Arabic numerals and blued hands, preserving the watch’s refined and wearable character.

Accompanying the pendant watch is its coordinating chain, composed of gold links accented with enamel elements and delicate pearl details. The combination of guilloché enamel and pearls was particularly favored in Edwardian design, reflecting a taste for softness, luminosity, and craftsmanship of the highest order.

Complete examples by Marcus & Co. with their matching chains are increasingly scarce. Known for exceptional quality and sophisticated clientele, Marcus & Co. pieces remain highly desirable among collectors of important early 20th-century jewelry and horological objects.
