This handkerchief features the watches and chronometers of Ernest and Borel -- back in the day. The hankie has pink and orange roses on the lower edge and several Ernest and Borel watch styles from the late 1950s/early 1960s surround it. The men's watches, Monaco and Deauville, and the ladies' Esclave and Cocktail. The Versailles, is an 8-day alarm clock.
Ernest Borel, a watch manufacturer founded in the 1850s, in Neuchatel, Switzerland, focused on export markets outside Europe. The company was noted for its awards in the 19th century, including first place in the 1866 Neuchatel observatory timing accuracy competition, which helped promote the company. Its watches and chronometers remain highly collectible. And this handkerchief is an expression of their artistic talents.
The hankie, which measures approx. 10 1/2" x 10 1/4" with hand rolled edges, is NEW. There is no tag stating the fabric content. Fine cotton is my impression.
What a wonderful find for your handkerchief collection. A unique gift for your favorite watch and timepiece aficionado.
