Silver Crystal Bezel Rectangular Curb Chain Watch
A small upright rectangular watch framed all the way around by a continuous line of set stones, on a flat chain with a leather strip threaded through the links.
Threading leather through a chain is hand work, and the run behind these five is short.
A stone frame on an upright case
A dinner table laid at home puts your hands where everyone can see them — passing a dish, pouring, resting on the cloth between courses, under a light hung low over the middle of it. A small upright case does not shout across that distance, but a continuous line of stones round all four sides draws an outline that reads from the far end.
What changes is the impression of effort. A plain-framed watch of the same size disappears into the wrist; a frame of set stones holds the shape, so people read the piece as something put on for the evening rather than left on from the day. The second look finds the leather threaded through the chain, and the conclusion is that you notice details on other people too.
By coffee, someone has leaned across to look at the chain.
Stones round all four sides
The case is upright rather than wide — roughly twenty millimetres across by twenty-eight tall — and the stones run in a continuous line around the whole frame rather than stopping at the long sides. Inside, the dial is kept plain so the frame carries the detail, under a scratch-resistant crystal.
The band is where your hand lingers: a flat chain with a leather strip threaded through the links, so the texture changes under the fingers from metal to hide and back. It closes at a folding clasp and runs to twenty-three centimetres. Water resistance to three metres covers rain and hand-washing rather than swimming, and the leather is worth keeping dry.

Hand-threaded chains come in batches
Each chain has its leather strip threaded through by hand, and a stone frame has to be set all the way around rather than along two sides, so these come through in batches and the black dials go first. Selling direct is what allows that much setting on a case this small. A return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose the colourway while the five are still listed. If the upright case is smaller on the wrist than you expected, send it back within fourteen days.
