Vintage Swiss-made "Leader" brand ladies' pendant or ball watch featuring a 17-jewel manual-wind mechanical movement. It is designed to be worn as a necklace charm or brooch rather than on the wrist, which was a highly popular fashion style for women from the 1940s through the 1960s.

Key Characteristics

• Dial Inscriptions: The watch face features the brand name LEADER on the right side and 17 JEWELS on the left. The bottom curve is marked SWISS MADE, confirming its historical origin from the Swiss horology.
• Jewel Count: A 17-jewel mechanism is a sign of a high-quality fully-jeweled mechanical movement. These synthetic sapphire or ruby jewels act as bearings to drastically reduce friction on the gear pivots, ensuring better durability and timekeeping accuracy compared to cheaper pin-lever movements.
• Design & Wearability: The small, round case includes an integrated top suspension loop (pendant bail) positioned near the 9 o'clock mark, allowing it to hang neatly when suspended from a delicate neck chain.
