Description

The Christie cloisonne Watch Fob is from the Christie Company, which was founded in 1907 and closed in 1910. Walter Christie was more interested in inventing automobile technology and racing, so his company languished and closed. Mr. Christie introduced the first front-wheeled drive automobile in 1904 he tested on Ormand Beach in Florida.
