ADOLPH KATZ CORO HISTORY
Adolph Katz was a Design Director at Coro since 1924. He developed Duettes based on a 1927 designed by Cartier. Like the Cartier frame, the Coro version had two openings in it, one for each pin. Pins could be attached to the frame to be worn as a set, or detached and worn individually.
