Wind it back in time with a really unique sterling silver Queen Anne flintlock pistol watch key pendant or earrings.

This pistol watch key has been reproduced from my collection of interesting novelty watch keys, the original shown in a photo, but it is not meant to wind your pocket watch as the end has been plugged.

A watch key, or key wind, was necessary to wind the watch and to set the movements. The sizes of the watch keys varied, and were made to fit the square shaft in the pocket watch to wind the watch, and the styles varied, some were no more than functional and some were fabulously ornate.


Impressed with history!
