ROYCE Pendant Watch cal. Peseux 7040 / 1980s, with Box and Chain

— 1980s dignity, wearing a golden stillness —

A pendant watch under the brand ROYCE, made by S. Kocher & Co.

A gold-coloured case of its period combined with chocolate brown leather is refined, and has a strong presence as an accessory too.

— A composed design drawn in gold and black —

The dial is a two-tone composition: a sunray-finished gold centre with a black circle carrying Roman numerals.

A design that keeps a classical atmosphere while also holding a modern impression.

— A Peseux 7040-family manual movement —

A robust and highly serviceable mechanism, with "17 JEWELS" and "INCABLOC" markings indicating its reliability.

The sure resistance as you wind the mainspring conveys the particular appeal of the mechanical.

— In a condition that would make a fine gift —

A scarce set complete with original box, chain and clip.

The pleasure of slipping it into an inside pocket and carrying it as a pocket watch, of course — and it works equally as an object on a desk.

Half a century on, a watch whose appeal has not faded.
