Description

This vintage ring watch is a distinctive piece of jewellery and timekeeping design, combining a compact mechanical watch with a gold-tone ring mount. The square cream dial is signed “Everite” and marked “Incabloc”, with applied gold-tone baton hour markers and matching hands. A hinged decorative cover conceals the watch face, allowing the piece to appear as an ornamental ring when closed.

Design & Craftsmanship

The watch sits within a square gold-tone case with a winding crown positioned at the side. Its dial has a restrained design, using simple baton markers and two hands for clear time reading. The “Incabloc” wording refers to the shock-protection system widely used in mechanical watch movements. Meanwhile, the hinged cover features a raised radial floral or sunburst motif with textured detailing. Shaped shoulders connect the case to the substantial ring shank, creating a cohesive jewellery design rather than simply mounting a watch onto a band.

Why We Love This Ring

Ring watches offer an appealing combination of practical design and novelty, particularly for collectors of vintage watches and unusual jewellery. This example has additional character because the face remains completely concealed until the decorative cover is opened. Therefore, it works equally well as a conversation piece and as an example of vintage mechanical watch design. The visible age to the finish also gives it an authentic, established appearance.

How to Style

This vintage ring watch will particularly suit someone who collects vintage watches, mechanical jewellery or unusual mid-century accessories. It can be worn as a statement ring, while the hinged cover allows the wearer to reveal the watch face when needed. Because the design already has considerable presence, it works best worn alone rather than alongside multiple rings.

Key Features

• MATERIALS: Gold metal
• DIMENSIONS: Head of the ring is approx 10mm x 9mm.
• ERA/HALLMARK: Circa 1960s.
• SIZE: UK O can’t be resized due to metal.
• WEIGHT: 8.81g
• CONDITION: The ring watch is in vintage condition with visible surface wear, tarnishing and areas of discolouration to the gold-tone finish. The cream dial also shows spotting and age-related marks, which are clearly visible in the photographs. The hinged cover and decorative detailing remain present, while the dial is legible. The watch is currently running and keeping time; however, as a vintage mechanical watch, continued accuracy or future timekeeping cannot be guaranteed. It is therefore sold primarily as a ring and collectible jewellery piece rather than as a precision timepiece.
