Bernex - Watch - GB41202

Description

A chain used to make easier access to a pocket watch in the watch pocket of a waistcoat. The Albert style went to a T-bar finding that tucked into a buttoned buttonhole of the waistcoat. From there a further small length of chain hung, to which the wearer attached decorative charms such as fraternity or lodge symbols. The double Albert was a chain draped between both watch pockets, with the T-bar and pendant chain in the middle. With the passing of their use as a functional item, Albert chains are still used as jewellery, worn in any number of manners. In current times, it can be used to secure a watch to the trousers or even just as bracelet (by many ladies).
