Gents 9ct Gold Wrist Watch, 1926
Gents 9ct gold wrist watch, 1926.
UK POSTAGE ONLY
The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, identified as being by the ebauche maker Fabrique d'Horlogerie de Fontainemelon, which is working nicely. Some of these movements have plain plates but this one has perlage detailing, a circular pattern which looks like pearls.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London (import mark), 1926. There is a sponsor’s mark which is difficult to read but appears to be for Louis Weil who was listed in 1881 as a "watch manufacturer and importer". Louis Weil died in 1919 but the company may well have continued trading and using the registered mark. The case is in good condition for such an early piece, there is one small “ding” to the back and a little unevenness but nothing too serious at all.
Originally the case would have had wire lugs but these have been replaced with sturdier lugs over the years, and this work has been professionally and sympathetically carried out.
The case is in the Borgel style and we believe it to be by François Borgel however the FB key mark is not visible. This is sometimes seen when British hallmarks have been punched and then subsequently polished back, this is known as “rectification”.
The lens has a little light scratching but is acceptable.
The dial has a couple of short hairline cracks but they are faint. The paint does not appear to be radium based as the Geiger counter reading is at normal background levels. Pin set hands.
A later leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
UK POSTAGE ONLY
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.
