This classic 9K Antique Albert watch chain is perfect if you’re looking for an everyday solid curb and/or wanting a shorter watch chain without substantial width, while still having those classic rounded curb links. This chain is a personal release, so you know it’s good! There are a few 9K (375) stamps around the dog clasps, but no other maker’s marks or hallmarks to note.
Details: 9K • 16.25” • 4.7mm wide • Two swivel dog clasps (22mm long) • 27g, a classic 9K yellow gold color
Photos are shown on my neck (I have a larger neck, so I don’t often wear 16”) with t bar that is no longer available.
Wear: Normal antique wear and overall in really good condition. One dog clasp has previously been repaired and the bottom hinge can tilt slightly to one side, but is easily realigned and is currently in working condition. Dog clasps are functional components and repairs or replacements are not uncommon on antique watch chains. As always, I like to disclose any notable wear on my pieces.
The classic Albert watch chain became a staple of gentleman’s dress during the Victorian era, traditionally worn across a waistcoat to secure a pocket watch. Named after Prince Albert, these chains were crafted in a variety of styles, with the curb link becoming one of the most enduring and sought-after designs. Originally functional pieces, their substantial gold construction and timeless links make them especially wearable as necklaces today.
Please expect normal wear to all vintage or antique items.
