The Chronokey Necklace reimagines the quiet authority of the gentleman’s fob watch — once an essential emblem of Victorian dress — into a bold, contemporary relic. At its core is a men’s antique fob watch, tethered to a well-worn leather strap section, with a fob watch winder suspended as a fragment of its mechanical past. The entire composition hangs from a band of matte black leather, grounding history in a modern, tactile frame. (The watch no longer functions — its value lies in story, not utility.)
In its time, the fob watch was more than a device: it was a marker of discipline, refinement, and subtle self-expression within a society bound by restraint. Carried in the waistcoat pocket and retrieved by its chain, it became one of the few sanctioned accessories of the Victorian male wardrobe. Today, through Flew Designs, this emblem of punctuality and order is reborn as adornment — no longer bound by utility, but celebrated for its form, patina, and the narrative it carries.
The Chronokey Necklace embodies Flew Designs’ ethos: reclaiming authentic antiques and transforming them into modern artefacts that are not just worn, but lived with — memory recast as contemporary expression.
