14k Engraved White Gold with Blue Enameled Dial and Genuine Diamonds and
Sapphires, Near Mint, c.1925 |
|
New Listing!

This is a rare and beautiful high-end top quality
ladies solid white gold engraved art deco Benrus from 1925 with blue
inlaid enamel dial, two high quality genuine diamonds flanked by four
genuine blue sapphire baguettes. All factory original and in mint
condition. The original silver and inlaid blue enamel dial is in
pristine condition and without flaw. It features geometric enameled
designs, a 60 minute outer track border, black enamel painted numerals
and original blue steel Spade-style hands. It is signed BENRUS below the
12 and “Swiss” below the 6. The solid 14 karat white gold case is
beautifully engraved on bezel and sides with secure snap back and no
personal sentiments and measures 17mm x 29mm with solid 11mm wire lugs.
The matching crown appears to be a replacement and would probably have
originally been crowned with another blue sapphire and is the only thing
on the watch that is not factory original. Inside is the original Benrus
15 jewel with 4 adjustments movement that was the best available in it's
day to match the superb high-end quality of the case and dial. It is
freshly serviced by us and runs, winds and sets properly and is keeping
very good time. Fitted with a new navy blue leather strap that perfectly
compliments the sapphire and enamel work and will fit a wrist of 6"-7
3/8". A beautiful investment quality heirloom ready to be worn and
cherished for generations to come. |

Movado
Ermeto Moon Phase Triple Calendar Manual Wind, Near Mint, c.1950 |
|
New Listing!


 |
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 just excellent original
condition. Beautiful brown crocodile leather cover is snug fitting and
in wonderful near mint condition. The pattern on the leather has been
carefully matched up on both the front and back of the case. 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 what we believe to be the factory original braided
leather watch chain in excellent condition. |

Condition, c.1930 |

Ladies watches between the wars rarely had seconds
hands and models like this with a highly visible red center sweep

scratches or damage. 17mm x 30mm. The unusual factory original round
dial is aged to a light honey tone and is clean and very readable.
