Antique 1908 Sterling Silver Albert Watch Chain Bracelet
Descripción
This striking antique Albert watch chain is crafted in solid sterling silver, featuring a handsome graduated curb link design. Each individual link has been hand-forged and bears the lion passant hallmark, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship. The chain is weighty and beautifully proportioned, tapering from wider central links to finer ends—designed to balance comfortably when worn.
The T-bar is hallmarked with the maker’s mark J.M, the lion passant, and the date letter ‘i’, dating it to 1908. The Albert clasp is marked S.S, likely referencing a secondary manufacturer or component maker.
Originally used to secure a gentleman’s pocket watch, the Albert chain was named after Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Today, these heritage chains are enjoying a resurgence—often worn as statement bracelets, joined together as necklaces, or as pocket watch chain for wedding accessories for grooms.
