As for the wonderful Iris brooch pin, the furthest two points measure approximately 4 cm (1  9.5/16 inches) in length. The mechanical movement is engraved A.W.W.CO. WALTHAM , MASS. 10511417 . The Art Nouveau Iris pin is the most beautiful flower pin that I have ever encountered resembling an actual flower with its wondrous details, superb metallurgical art craftsmanship, no ? This most beautiful Iris brooch pin has an inward looping petal (can be seen on the reverse side,  lower section of the 8th image) which serves as a loop, permitting dual functionality, so that this most beautiful Iris can be worn as a pendant ! The watch is in good working condition, how-ever the dial has a hair line between the 2 and 3 O'clock as can be clearly seen in the provided images. The Iris brooch pin has a small scratched notch on the lower stem as seen in the provided images. The 14K gold lid cover of the watch mechanism is engraved "Jean C. Haussamen Christmas 1902" (11th image), for these wonderful watches were traditionally given as Christmas gifts. Would make a wonderful addition to any watch, flower, or Jewelry collection ! Beauties such as these make for great investments ! The wonderful Art Nouveau Iris brooch pin is crafted with a reverse petal on the top which loops, so as to allow one to wear the beauty by itself as a pendant ! So if you love flowers as I do, and would not mind catching the gazes of all those around you, then pick this sweet Iris and you will attract everyone like bees to a honey hive ! The Van Gogh of Jewels ! Please feel free to check out my other Museum Quality Watches !

The Iris flower is from the greek word for rainbow since this beautiful flower comes in so many different colors. The fleur-de-lis is an Iris flower and the symbolism associated with the iris is faith, wisdom, cherished friendship, hope, valor, my compliments, promise in love, wisdom.

       Modern gold bullion is turned into cheap mass produced modern "jewels", where-as fine quality Jewels of the past are hand made with great craft and love to surely attract gazes of wonder and joy for all eternity ! A great investment !

Wishing you all for the 2013 birth of our beloved Jesus Christ !
