Christine of My Style Pill, wearing her vintage watch Necklace

Inspired by fashion blogger Christine, who writes My Style Pill, I have been on the hunt for a vintage watch necklace. Her watch was passed down from her grandmother, and she put it on a chain.

I love the look because ever since cell phones became ubiquitous, you don't really need a watch. So watches have become more ornamentation than utility pieces. And why not? The vintage pocket watches are handcrafted beautifully and relics of a past time (pun intended?).

A closer look at Christine's vintage watch.

For those who are not so lucky to get such jewels from gran and gramps, there's still a way to get an authentic and unique vintage piece.

Enter Corvus Noir. The local New York City designers search high and low for unique vintage pieces– pocket watches, secretary pens, silver penknives, rhinestone-encrusted wild cats– and make them more wearable by putting them on reconstructed vintage chains. The chains are a statement in and of itself, with pieces of vintage rosary beads, chunky liks and other amazing vintage finds.

They have 3 one-of-a-kind watch necklaces exclusively made for Market Publique and My Style Pill readers right now! Grab them quick, as pieces like these are hard to come by. They also make the perfect gift: you get to give a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece without breaking the bank, and can borrow a line from my boyfriend way back when I was 16: "So that whenever you look at the time, you know I am thinking of you – all the time". Hey. We were 15.
