Women-fashion-watches and the Dandy Horse

My grandmother worn a locket with a watch around her neck and I always admired it. In the 1800’s women often pinned a watch to their bosom or dangled it on a chain.

Did you know the wristwatch became popular with the bicycling fad (or Dandy Horse- as the bicycling was known early on as). I suppose it was difficult to ride a bicycle with a watch dangling around your neck.

You can purchase our reproduction fashion locket like this.  Take look at all our custom jewelry on our link: Southern Shells and Jewels.
