Vintage 18 Carat Yellow Gold And Gem-Set Mechanical “Stealing Time” Brooch Watch

A bold and humorous piece of wearable art, this vintage brooch depicts a safe cracker mid-heist, dramatically frozen in time — literally. Crafted in solid 18 carat gold, this unique lapel brooch cleverly conceals a miniature mechanical watch inside the door of the jewelled safe, making it a rare crossover between high horology and witty mid-century design.
