Steampunk-Style Circular Assemblage Brooch

This item is a circular assemblage brooch, approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter, created in a 'steampunk' or 'upcycled' aesthetic using various vintage horological components. The base appears to be a perforated metallic plate or filigree, decorated with circular-cut colorless rhinestones. Prominently featured on the surface are several watch parts: a larger circular champagne-colored dial marked 'Bervais-Pinard Electronic' with raised gold-tone numerals, a smaller square Waltham watch dial with an inner chapter ring, and various exposed mechanical movement plates (bridges), gears, and wheels. One movement section shows visible ruby jewels, a common indicator of quality in mechanical watches. The materials include various metals (steel, brass, and gold-tone plating) and glass or crystal accents. The construction involves a layering technique where individual vintage components have been adhered to a central frame surrounded by a twisted rope-style border of alternating silver and gold tones. Condition-wise, the item shows significant intentional and age-related wear, including patina on the metal surfaces, missing hands on both watch dials, surface scratches, and grime buildup within the perforated base. The 'Electronic' marking on the main dial suggests a mid-20th-century origin for the donor parts, while the assembly into jewelry is likely a more modern decorative creation from the 21st century.
