QEQM. Watch? Posted by Beth on February 9, 2019, 6:07 am When Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother visited the Daily Mail Home Show at Olympia in March 1948, she wore either a bracelet or watch which is unfamiliar to me. I think it is probably a watch. Has anyone any ideas? Detail Detail

Re: QEQM. Watch? Posted by Dave on February 9, 2019, 8:16 am, in reply to "QEQM. Watch?" Nice find Beth, it looks like a clock/ Watch face to me. But what of the large flower brooch on her left breast? Maybe the watch is a Greville legacy piece. Good work again Beth. Regards, Dave.

Re: QEQM. Watch? The brooch Posted by Beth on February 9, 2019, 3:33 pm, in reply to "Re: QEQM. Watch?" Although the brooch cannot be seen fully in any of the available photos from this event, I strongly suspect that QEQM was wearing what I call her emerald palm tree brooch. What do others think? The brooch worn in March 1948 Other black and white photos of the brooch from much the same time period. Detail In South Africa 1947

Re: QEQM. Another watch?? Posted by Beth on February 10, 2019, 4:41 am, in reply to "Re: QEQM. Watch? The brooch" Is it possible that the watch worn by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother for a visit to the BBC in March 1957 has emeralds in the band? Or is this a photographic illusion and HM was in fact wearing her watch with the elaborate diamond band? Detail

Re: QEQM. Another watch?? Posted by Beth on February 11, 2019, 5:30 am, in reply to "Re: QEQM. Another watch??" That is what I thought too Franck. My guess is that this might have been a piece from Mrs Greville. In the coming days or week, I will do a thread on some of QEQM's watches. I think I have sorted out which was the watch given to her by Belfast for her wedding.
