06  /  About this article

A flat oval face with a hand-finished edge, sitting on a pivoting bullet-back post. The face is left plain so it reads as metal rather than as ornament — under a jacket sleeve you see an inch of it at most.

At 5.4 g a link, the pair sits above the 7.78 g exemption weight when weighed together, but hallmarking is judged on the single article: each link is struck on its own, so the pair carries two marks.
