Movado Ermeto Moon Phase Triple Calendar Manual Wind, Near Mint, c.1950
 

Ermeto's are just so hard to find in decent original condition where the leather covers have not shrunken away from the case edge or been torn or damaged. This example is in superb original condition. Beautiful brown genuine crocodile leather cover is snug fitting and in wonderful mint condition. Factory original white and silvered two tone dial with gold applied numerals and minute register surrounding the 31 day date register with windows for day and month and moon phases. Dial is crisp and clean and pristine. Gold filled case with easel stand and chain loop. Case is excellent with no damage, scratches or personalization, it closes snugly and is clean and straight. We did not get a photo of the pristine original Movado Swiss movement that is bright and clean and keeping very good time with all pushers and complications working properly. Factory original crown. This is a manual wind Ermeto that does not wind the watch when opening and closing. These were available as an option later in the Ermeto line to provide a more reliable purse or pocket watch with fewer parts to go wrong, the automatic winders almost always needed to be hand wound anyway. Fitted with the factory original braided leather watch chain with button clasp in excellent condition.

Rolex Tudor Early Model Small Rose, Solid 9k Gold, Mint Original Condition c.1946
 

This is an all-original, solid gold 100% Rolex first-year production Tudor with the original Rolex caliber 59 manual movement and NOT the later ETA movement. During W.W. II Rolex saw a market for Rolex quality watches but at a more modest price. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, responded in 1946 with the first models of the Tudor line of Rolex watches. The earliest Tudor's used in-house Rolex movements and the next year, in 1947, they started using ETA ebauche's which were built to Rolex specifications and finished, timed and cased at the Rolex factory.

Factory original white dial with solid gold applied numerals and batons and signed Tudor and Shock Protected with small rose-in-shield logo is clean and beautiful. Solid gold hands with sweep seconds. Solid 9 karat gold Rolex Tudor signed snap back case is superb with no scratches, personalization or damage. Full sized at 34mm x 41mm with 17mm between the lugs. Inside is a spectacular Rolex factory original in-house caliber 59 manual wind 17 jewel Swiss movement that is as crisp and clean as the day it left the factory in 1946. Recently serviced and keeping excellent time. Fitted with a new, very high quality brown German made Di-Modell genuine Teju lizard strap. This is an all factory-original authentic and very collectable Rolex at a fraction of the cost of the same watch with the Rolex name printed on the dial.

Bucherer Large 65 Jewels Solid 18 karat Yellow Gold Automatic with Date, Extra-Fine Condition, c.1969
 

This is a very special solid 18 karat yellow gold automatic with an unprecedented 65 ruby jeweled movement from Bucherer, a highly respected Swiss maker and dating to the late 1960's. During this era, many high-end Swiss makers were vying for the prestige of making the most highly jeweled mechanical movement. At 65 jewels, this movement has more than twice the number of rubies required to minimize friction and wear in all places needed for maximum performance. The rest of the rubies are not really necessary at all and many are placed solely for the purpose of holding the bragging rights to the most highly jeweled movement and have no practical function, really. Bucherer later lost those bragging rights to several other makers who put up to 100 jewels in their movements but still, this is a very unique and totally remarkable watch. Movement is bright and clean and keeping good time. This extraordinary movement is housed in a large 36.5mm x 44 mm 18 karat solid yellow gold case which is lightly used and still in beautiful extra fine condition with no scratches, dings or damage. Original solid gold crown but the stem has been very slightly hit and you can feel it when the watch is wound or set but it is not a problem and does not interfere with the proper use or operation of this fine watch. The factory original yellow gold dial with gold applied batons and date window at 3:00 is signed with the company logo and "Bucherer, 65 Jewels, Swiss Made." The dial shows a minor ding near 3:00 from a previous service which is only visible under magnification, and some light dust particles. Original solid gold hands set with sweep seconds. Original crystal with one or two very light scratches near the edge which are not really noticeable and could easily be polished out if desired. Overall a very beautiful and remarkable dress watch. Fitted with a new black genuine crocodile 18mm strap.

 Endura Tel-O-Timer Rotary Telephone Timer/Watch NOS c.1955
 

Very cool. This is a very unusual Swiss timepiece that was made to attach to the center of a rotary telephone dial. This was a very convenient timepiece that not only gave you the current time, it also let you keep track of the length of your phone calls. This was important in those days as long distance calls were very expensive and you were charged by three-minute blocks of time. We take long distance calls for granted today but they were quite costly in those days and you tried to keep them under three minutes. If you went over, you may as well keep talking because you were already going to be charged for the next three minutes. This neat Swiss watch has the date at 3:00 and a programmable timer at 9:00 and IT WINDS AUTOMATICALLY AS YOU DIAL THE PHONE! Never sold and absolutely new old stock complete with original box and instruction papers. We have never seen one of these before. Very cool, very collectable.
