A ring of faceted square-cut rhinestones frames an octagonal case in unmistakable Art Deco revival fashion — each stone channel-set flush against the cream dial, the geometry crisp and deliberate. The bracelet continues the line, carrying the same square rhinestones in a single row the full length of the band, so the watch reads as one uninterrupted arc of light on the wrist. Longyear produced this style of crystal-set fashion watch during the rhinestone bracelet watch boom of the late 1980s and early 90s, when the form sat comfortably between jewelry and timepiece. A glamorous everyday piece with real visual precision.
