Hidden Rose Garden Watch – Vintage French Bangle by Paul Garnier
At first glance, it’s a gilded floral bangle—lush with faux pearls, rose blossoms, and golden filigree. But lift the petal-shaped lid, and a secret is revealed: a dainty Swiss-made watch by renowned French maker Paul Garnier, tucked discreetly beneath.
Paul Garnier was a prestigious French watchmaker known for high-quality timepieces in the 19th and 20th centuries. He even produced early carriage clocks and helped advance railway timekeeping in France.
Crafted with the grace and whimsy of the mid-20th century, this timepiece marries the elegance of French design with the charm of a hidden message. The 17-jewel movement ensures enduring quality, while the floral details feel like a love letter to vintage femininity.
Whether worn for its beauty or its function, this piece is a true treasure—made for a wrist that loves a story.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Watch is in working condition, but will need a new battery upon receipt. Minor patina consistent with age.
Era: Estimated 1950s–1960s
Maker: Paul Garnier, France
Details: 17-jewel Swiss movement, hidden cover, ornate floral bangle
Wrist fit: 7”
One of one. Once it’s gone, it’s gone — forever.
