Held up on its chain, the cover shows a wolf's head turned three quarters towards you, ears forward, the fur cut deep enough to hold shadow in every groove. A ring of beading circl es the panel, branches are worked into the ground behind the head, and the whole cover carries a bronze toned finish that darkens in the recesses. Why a wolf on the lid Pocket watch covers have carried engraved scenes since the earliest ones were made, and hunting was a favourite subject. A wolf belongs on this one twice over. In the Norse telling, Skoll runs behind the sun and Hati behind the moon, so the passing of one day into the next was described as a pursuit. A bow and ridged crown sit at the top, with a curb link chain running from it. At about 80 cm the chain is long enough to loop and still leave the watch swinging free when you draw it out, and at 4.8 cm across the case has enough face for the relief to read from a distance. The particulars Composition: stainless steel Movement: quartz Diameter: about 4.8 cm Thickness: about 1.5 cm Total length of the chain: about 80 cm Unisex It reads as much like wolf jewelry as it does a watch, and it sits in the wolf watch collection beside the wrist pieces.
