Description

Up for auction is a charming pair of ladybug pocket watch pendants, dating approximately to the 1960s–1970s, each featuring a Swiss mechanical hand-wind movement. These whimsical and collectible timepieces were designed to be worn as necklace pendants (chains not included) and are admired for their clever, functional design.

Each ladybug’s hinged wings open to reveal the watch face, which is thoughtfully oriented to face the wearer when suspended from a chain - both playful and practical in design.

Gold-Toned Ladybug: Dial marked Jufrex, 17 Jewels, Coccinelle, Swiss Made. 

Green, Black & Gold-Toned Ladybug: Dial marked TeenTime, 17 Jewels, Antimagnetic, Swiss Made.

The backs of both pendants are stamped: Patented Under #4379/62, Swiss Made, Aluminum. The patent reference further supports a mid-20th-century origin.

Both ladybug pendants show minor surface marks consistent with age and handling, which do not detract from their charm, display appeal, or collectibility. 

The gold-toned ladybug is in working condition. The green ladybug may require some attention. Regardless, both are charming pieces.

These delightful pieces are wonderful additions to any vintage watch collection, novelty jewelry display, or gift for admirers of mid-century design, Swiss watchmaking, and insect-themed collectibles.

Please review all photographs carefully for condition and details.

Happy Bidding!
