Gents Recta Minerva watch conversion
Gents Recta Minerva pocket watch conversion.
The watch has a good quality 17-jewel hand-winding movement, four adjustments, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Minerva mark.
Originally this watch would have been a pocket watch but at some stage, probably in the 1940s or 50s, it has been professionally converted to a wrist watch. The watch is over-sized at 50mm diameter excluding the onion crown and lugs. The case is nickel and it has a screw-on bezel and case back, a nice sign of quality.
The watch glass is in good condition.
The dial is signed Recta, just one of the brand names registered by Marchand & Jobin, they also registered Majex and Minerva so here we have a combination of the two. We have seen this before with a Recta Majex wrist watch. The dial is in good original condition with original hands (the infill has been removed over the years).
A later leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box. 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.
