Octagonal Art Appraisal

Vintage Women's Octagonal Wristwatch

This is a vintage women's wristwatch with an octagonal-shaped case. The case and bracelet appear to be made from a yellow-toned metal, possibly gold-filled or plated, exhibiting a warm patina that suggests age. The dial is square with rounded corners and a textured finish in a light color, possibly beige or off-white, with small, possibly applied, hour markers that appear dark in color. The minute and hour hands are visible and are dark in color; there doesn't appear to be a second hand. The winding crown is small and located on the right side of the case. The bracelet is a link design, with one segment being a flexible snake chain-like structure, and the other segment being a more rigid, textured link. One of the rigid links shows what appears to be engraved text, possibly a maker's mark or material indication, which is illegible in the image. The overall style suggests an age likely from the early to mid-20th century, perhaps 1920s to 1940s. The condition shows wear commensurate with age, including potential scratches and surface wear on the metal components. The crystal covering the dial is visible and may have some minor surface scratches. The watch mechanism's condition is unknown as the dial hands are static in the image. The clasp mechanism is not fully visible, but it appears to be a fold-over style.
