RETRO 14K "TANK TRACK" BRACELET BY WILLY JUNGET (DENMARK, FL. 1954-1973)
Item # C104264
An absolutely fantastic Danish modern bracelet designed by Willy Junget, it borrows the best elements of the Retro period with the distinctive "tank track" motif that was so popular following World War II but stylizes it into a more sleek composition of tear-drop links. The result is slinky and angular, a clear development over the more chunky designs of the prior generation. A very substantial piece weighing in at just over 70 grams, the bracelet wears comfortably at 7 1/4" in overall wearable length (not including tongue of clasp). The sleek links catch and reflect light against the brilliant high-polish. The box clasp is marked with the maker's mark "WJ" and the gold hallmarks.
