Lucien Piccard Ladies 'Cocktail' Dress Watch

In the 1950s and 1960s, small ladies’ ‘cocktail’ watches were all the rage.

These timepieces — thin, and often in precious metals with matching bracelets — were unobtrusive and elegant, with diminutive dials and mechanical movements whose small size is notable even today. (The famed Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 is still the world’s smallest mechanical movement, and has held this distinction since 1929.) Though no longer widely produced, this type of ladies’ timepiece remains the perfect accessory to a cocktail dress or evening gown.

This particular cocktail watch is from Lucien Piccard, a Swiss watchmaking house founded in 1923. Dating to the 1950s, it’s housed in a 10.5mm rectangular, 14K yellow gold case with an acrylic crystal and a 14K yellow gold crown. It features a sunburst silver dial with applied diamond-shaped indices and a matching yellow gold ‘sword’ handset, a hand-cranking swiss movement powering it within, and a gorgeous 14k integrated mesh bracelet with 'pebble' finishing and a locking 'safety' clasp.

Despite the passage of 70 years, this elegant Swiss cocktail watch looks as beautiful as ever. Try it on for yourself and see what we mean!
