RARE FIND ! This is a rare Antique German Art Deco-era pocket watch fob, often referred to as a chatelaine-style fob,dating to the 1920s–1930s.

Chrome-plated metal (possibly nickel or a white metal alloy) with colorful vitreous enamel inlay.
The enamel features royal blue, baby blue, pink, and black, forming geometric and floral patterns – classic traits of Art Deco design.

The central enamelled drop is highly decorative and the focal point – its shield-like shape and stylized floral motifs echo the angular yet ornamental style of the Art Deco movement.

The engraved elements on the upper plaque and the horizontal bar add a refined geometric touch, consistent with German craftsmanship of the era.
The fob is signed "Deponirt" - Many German objects from this period are marked "Deponirt" or D.R.G.M., meaning "Registered Design." These indicated protection under German design law.

These types of fobs were worn by gentlemen or ladies (especially when styled as a chatelaine), functioning both as a practical item and a status symbol.

Measurements :Total drop of 17cm and 2.1cm wide.Total weight of 14.3grams.
