Money Clip Watch Appraisal

Colibri Quartz Pocket Watch Money Clip Combination

This item is a pocket watch integrated into a money clip, manufactured by Colibri. The overall piece features a gold-toned metallic finish, which appears to be brass or gold-plated base metal, showing some signs of wear and surface scratches consistent with use. The money clip portion is a flat, rectangular piece with a spring-loaded or tension-based mechanism to hold bills, exhibiting a polished, somewhat reflective surface with subtle swirling patterns. The watch itself is circular with a black dial and a gold-toned bezel. The watch face is minimalist, featuring only the brand name 'COLIBRI' prominently displayed below the 12 o'clock position (where a small, clear stone, possibly a diamond or cubic zirconia, acts as an hour marker) and 'QUARTZ' written near the 6 o'clock position. The hour and minute hands are simple, gold-toned, and stick-like in design, with no second hand visible. A small winder or crown is present on the right side of the watch case. The integration of the watch into the money clip suggests a design from the late 20th century, likely 1980s or 1990s, when such functional accessories were popular. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality, aiming for a stylish yet practical accessory. Visible condition issues include minor scuffs and surface wear on the gold-tone finish, particularly on the money clip and the watch bezel, indicating regular handling. There are no major dings, significant corrosion, or structural damage apparent.
