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

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.

completed and finished and regulated to Rolex specifications at the
Rolex factory by Rolex. The Tudor line was created by Hans Wilsdorf
at the end of WW2 when he saw a market for a more modestly priced Rolex
and for the buyer who wanted a dependable waterproof Rolex quality watch
but who didn't want to flaunt their Rolex or pay twice the price for
the Rolex logo on the dial. Fitted with a new black alligator grain
padded leather strap. Very collectable Rolex Tudor and perfect for everyday

original dial in a pale honey tone with gold leaf trim and Roman numerals

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.
