A 1950s Louis cocktail watch with a small round dial framed by fanned clear baguettes, spreading from the case like rays from a rising sun. Chevron links set with small round rhinestones continue the shimmer down the band, folding into one another like a sheaf of wheat. The silvered dial carries gold-tone Arabic numerals and the Swiss 17-jewel mark. A glamorous mid-century piece that wears as much like a bracelet as a watch.
