Gents 1940s Pierce chronograph watch
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
Gents 1940s Pierce chronograph watch.
The watch company Pierce was founded in 1883 in Biel (Switzerland) by Leon Levy and his brothers under the name Léon Lévy Frères Manufactures des Montres et Chronographes Pierce SA.
This model of chronograph was the official pilots’ watch of the Trans Caribbean Airlines during the late 1940s / early 1950s.
The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement, believed to be the calibre 134 which was introduced in the 1940s, which is working nicely. The movement is signed Pierce Watch Co Inc.
The watch measures 37mm diameter excluding the crown, buttons and lugs. The case is plated, there is a little wear and marking but overall good condition for such an early piece. The stainless steel case back is stamped Breveté SGDG, this was a French type of patent that ceased to exist in 1968. The name was a common abbreviation for “Breveté Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement”.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands (the infill has been removed over the years). There is some age related darkening to the dial, and some fading to the numbers. The dial states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.
The chronograph is stopped and started with the bottom button, and the top button re-sets the main chronograph and 60 minute register sub dial to zero.
The watch has an extra long vintage leather strap.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
