Ladies Fob Watches. Fob watch is another term for pocket watch, however, it is well suited to watches which were made to hang either on a pendant or lapel rather than in a gentleman’s pocket. Ladies fob watches from the Art Deco era were glamorous in design. They could be made to hang from either a pendant or lapel and were often decorated in a way which concealed the watch, for example, they could be disguised as either a pendant or a brooch. Many would be set with gemstones.

Below are some examples and price guides of Art Deco ladies fob watches including an onyx and diamond fob watch by Chaumet and a Tiffany & Co diamond watch.

Pocket watches were still worn during the Art Deco era even though wristwatches were now becoming more popular with men as well as with ladies. The widespread use of pocket watches in a professional environment finally came to an end in approximately 1943. The Royal Navy of the British military distributed to their sailors Waltham pocket watches, which were nine-jewel movements, with black dials, and numbers coated with radium for visibility in the dark, in anticipation of the eventual D-Day invasion.
