While relations between white Americans and American Indians haven’t always been peaceful and pleasant, the two cultures have undoubtedly influenced each other in a number of ways. Settlers learned much of what they knew about skilled horsemanship and crafts from the Native Americans who came before. In turn, some Indians were moved to renounce their faith in pagan deities and embrace the Christian monotheism.
Nowhere is the link between the two cultures more apparent than the world of jewelry, where silver and turquoise pieces bear the stamp of time-honored tradition. Native American watches feature the proud faces of cowboys, Indians and other iconic figures of the fabled Old West. They should be appreciated by historians, collectors and watch enthusiasts alike.
