A New Sautoir Ties the Pendant to the Wrist Watch

· 1 min read

A newly introduced sautoir pairs a working watch face with high jewelry design, worn long on a chain like a pendant rather than at the wrist. The piece takes its shape from a smooth, pebble-like form set to swing freely from its setting. It sits at the crossing point of two categories collectors have long kept separate: timekeeping and fine jewelry.

With reporting from Elle Decor.
