Kessaris Interchangeable Watch Wardrobe Set

This item is a vintage "Kessaris" watch wardrobe set, presented in a rectangular display box designed to hold multiple interchangeable watch bezels and a single watch movement. The box itself appears to be constructed from wood or a similar dark, rigid material, possibly painted black, with some visible wear and tear consistent with age, such as scuff marks on the corners and edges. A clear plastic or glass lid allows viewing of the contents. Inside, the watch components are set into a cream or light-yellow colored velvet or felt-lined insert, providing individual slots for each piece. The set includes at least six distinct watch bezels, each featuring a different color and possibly a different texture or design, ranging from red, brown, green, to various shades of beige or pink. These bezels appear to be made of resin, plastic, or a similar molded material. One gold-toned watch movement is visible on the far right, featuring a round face, standard hour markers, and what appears to be a quartz movement, given its compact size and design typical of fashion watches from the mid-to-late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship for the bezels suggests mass production, while the box itself shows a moderate level of finish. The prominent 'KESSARIS' nameplate on the front of the box is an ornate metal plaque, likely brass or a brass-toned alloy, indicating the brand. Given the style, particularly of the interchangeable bezels and the overall presentation, this set likely dates from the 1970s or 1980s. The ruler in the foreground suggests the box is approximately 8 to 9 inches in length.
