This endless ouroboros snake serpent watch key charm has been reproduced from an antique Georgian era (1714 - 1830) pinchbeck watch winder key from my private collection of interesting novelty watch keys, the original is shown in the photos, but it is not meant to wind your pocket watch since the replica key hole size may be off.

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!
