Art Deco 1930's Gents Chrome Wristwatch, Serviced
Description
This watch is the last wave of Art Deco watches we sourced earlier this year, an incredible find of old/new watches dating from the 1930's. There's no makers name to this watch and some of the others. However, some watches had dials with the name Bifora, which was one of the first watch companies in Germany and so we think as the watches were all found together the unsigned are likely by Bifora too. This watch has never been sold, marketed or worn, In this condition, watches from those years are unique and extremely difficult to find. Once these watches are gone, that's it, this is a limited availability. Kept in a drawer and away from day light for several dozen years, these watches were found in a factory in Berlin buried away and only brought to light 80 odd years later, in fact not until April of 2019! The factory we are told closed down in 1936. In Sept 2021 this watch had a thorough service, fully stripped, cleaned, oiled and timed.This particular watch is one of the more stylish and unique from the haul, fabulous Deco chrome case with streamline stepped sides and solid main case. A stylish two tone copper dial, with second sub seconds dial and with a perfect glass crystal continues the attraction of this timepiece. Some of the watches came to us in duplicates, this watch came as just one single example. Chrome-plated that even a picky perfectionist could only describe as mint condition, 31.5 x 23.5 MM mm without lugs. , works perfectly running on 15 jewels. Original dial with Arabic numerals, finely painted pale mint coloured hands, the hands and numerals with luminescent paint (no longer illuminates at night) . A brand new black leather strap has been added . This watch is as authentic as to the day it was made, no touched up dials, re-chroming etc.
Perfect both for everyday wear and for adding to the collections and surely an amazing investment that can only grow in value. Lovely watch any gentleman would love to wear. The case back is free of any engravings, shows no wear-through to the plating. Still with it's original label!
All of our watches are sent out in complimentary presentation boxes, ideal for gifting and to store for personal collections.
