Avon produced some genuinely charming novelty dial watches through the 1990s, and this oval floral bouquet example is among the more painterly. The dial carries a detailed arrangement of pink roses and blue forget-me-nots against a cream ground — the kind of image that belongs on a porcelain brooch as much as a watch face. The gold-tone oval case is clean and unadorned, letting the dial remain the focal point, and the deep red croc-embossed genuine leather strap grounds the whole piece with unexpected richness. A small, considered object.
Materials Gold-tone base metal, stainless steel back, genuine leather strap, mineral crystal
