A Watch, A Memory, A Moment in Time

Some pieces are more than just jewelry — they’re chapters of someone’s story. This elegant  VanderZanden Jeweler’s women’s quartz wristwatch comes as a complete 1990s time capsule — original box, papers, and the receipt dated August 24, 1996. But what makes it truly special is the story behind it.

In Liz Taylor’s words, the original owner:

“I bought it in 1996. I was a single mom and had a corporate job that I finally felt secure in — and it was the first thing I splurged on!” — Liz Taylor

This watch reflects that secure heritage, featuring a black brick-pattern dial, a striking gold and silver-tone stainless steel band, and a classic rectangular case. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, it has been recently fitted with a new battery and runs beautifully.

VanderZanden was a beloved family-owned jeweler in Northeastern Wisconsin, known for quality craftsmanship and timeless design.

This watch reflects that heritage — now lovingly donated by Liz and Jack Wilson through American Valor Thrift Store so it can begin its next chapter.
