A late 1950s Elco 9 carat gold wrist watch
A late 1950s Elco 9 carat gold wrist watch.
The watch has a Helvetia 28-jewel automatic movement, calibre 841, which is working well. As with many Helvetia movements, it is wound anti-clockwise.
Helvetia was a trade mark name used by the General Watch Company (founded by Louis Brandt - founder of Omega). Helvetia wristwatches and pocket watches were imported to the UK in the 1950s by Elco Clocks and Watches which explains why the dial is signed Elco and yet the movement is signed Helvetia.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs so it is a decent size. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London 1956 with a maker’s mark ECW for Elco Clocks and Watches. The case is nice and heavy and it is in good condition too. The back has a personal inscription dated 1959.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has some age related discolouration and the hands appear to be replacements although of the correct style for the watch.
A new black leather strap has been fitted. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
