Blancpain $20 Coin Watch in 18K Yellow Gold Unpolished w/ Pouch

Coin watches are remarkable creations which are both extremely uncommon and very difficult to create. Made from two coins, they are an interesting blend of horology, numismatics, and history. More often than not, these coins would begin as legal tender, then would require a skilled coin maker to dissect two sides, carve an interior within each to house the timepiece, and finally reconstruct the two sides in a hinged fashion.

This Blancpain is an incredibly sophisticated example and a testament to the art.

It is a cased in a beautiful $20 coin from 1907. This example features a bow, with the coin edge. It could be worn as a necklace.

These are the ultimate horological accessories. We are elated to offer this timepiece.

It was just serviced and is running great. It does not come with box or papers. It does come with a coin watch pouch.
