This little pendant watch is, perhaps, a trifle on the "fat" side, but it absolutely looks the part for any Victorian lady's use, especially if she is garbed conservatively in decent dress and not following the rather sudden fashions adopted by many of the free-thinking women at large in the steampunk movement.

The catch on the winder is positive and easy to disengage to reveal the watch face. The cover is extremely authentic-looking.

Yes, the piece is cheap costume jewelry, but it is convincing and the watch really works. It even comes with a spare battery.

The chain seems sturdy too. It survived a recent outing with no breakage, where the watch drew much comment.

For the cost I don't think it can be beaten.
