From Website:
The Carré, an innovative and unusual watch and a wonderful example of Art Deco design, had three intended uses: as a man\'s pocket watch, as a woman\'s purse watch, and as a small, portable table clock. The case was available with or without an attachment for a chain. Sliding the button on the side causes the case to spring open, revealing the diamond-shaped watch inside. The clever case design would stand upright when opened, making it useful as a small desk or bedside table clock, a convenient accessory for traveling.
The Carré contains a round, 15-jewel movement similar to those used in early-1930s men\'s wristwatches.
