Vintage Gold-Tone Coin Motif Cuff Watch

This is a vintage-style cuff watch, likely from the mid-20th century, characterized by its ornate, gold-toned metal construction. The design ingeniously integrates a small, white-faced analog watch into a wider bracelet structure adorned with decorative elements resembling ancient coins or medallions. The watch face itself is quite small with clear Arabic numerals and what appear to be simple hour and minute hands. The watch casing is round and appears to be integrated directly into the cuff. Surrounding the watch and forming the majority of the bracelet are multiple circular, coin-like embellishments. Each of these 'coins' features a raised, embossed design which, upon closer inspection, appears to depict highly stylized animal or mythical creatures, possibly a lion or griffin head, surrounded by decorative borders and what seem to be pseudo-calligraphic or abstract symbols. Some areas of the bracelet, particularly between the lower 'coins', feature a textured, possibly mesh-like or woven metal pattern, adding to its intricate appearance. The metal has a consistent warm, tarnished gold patina, suggesting age and a lack of recent polishing, which contributes to its antique aesthetic. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like breaks or large dents, though minor surface wear and scratching consistent with age and use would be expected. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item designed to emulate historical or ancient styles, popular in costume jewelry. The integrated spring or hinge mechanism for the cuff is not visible but is implied by the style, allowing it to fit various wrist sizes.
