I´m talking about Putumayo´s Crown Watches.
They´re necklaces that are shaped like crowns. There are two colors available: Antique gold and Antique silver. What´s that at the center, peeking from in between the crown´s sections?
Yes, it´s a watch! It´s so cute!! It´s hidden when the necklace is hanging, but can be pulled out (or, rather, the crown "lifts") if you want to know what time it is.
Here in the closeup, you can see that it has roman numerals on it, instead of regular arabic numbering. I´m a sucker for roman numerals--I first learned to count using the roman numerals on my kitchen clock. ^_^ So geeky, I know, but it was my Mom´s fault.
Lastly, you can see where it´d hang. Regular length for a lolita necklace, I´d say. It´d hit the top of a high-waisted skirt or underbust corset in a steampunk outfit.
I like both colorways--strangely enough I like the antique gold best--but I would have liked to see either of these in a "regular" "non-antique" version as well. I´m sure they´d look wonderful in a more usual level of shinyness.
As for the price, they´re actually quite affordable (something I really like about Putumayo--their watches are always nicely priced): 35USD. You can find them on the Tokyo Rebel website--though the Antique silver is already sold out (boo!).
What do you think? Would you buy one of these?
