A bold German Art-Deco watch fob, likely produced by Louis Gottlieb & Söhne, constructed in lightweight hollow-form Platinin. Its articulated openwork body comprises a rhythmic sequence of interlocking rings joined by smooth rectangular collars, terminating in a sharply faceted trapezoid of glossy black galalith. Platinin was a bright, tarnish-resistant white-metal alloy developed during the 1920s to imitate the appearance of platinum at a more accessible price. The pairing of Platinin and galalith captures the period’s enthusiasm for innovative industrial materials, bringing fashionable Art-Deco design within reach of a growing middle-class market.
The fob measures 15,2 cm long and 3 cm wide. While originally Intended to be suspended from a pocket watch, it can easily be used as a stylish keychain or attached to your car keys!
The Chatelaine fob is in very good vintage condition! No major visible dents or scratches. Some very light surface wear which is not noticeable when worn. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
