Gents silver Atlas trench watch by Stauffer, 1927
Gents silver Atlas trench watch by Stauffer & Co, 1927.
The watch has a hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Atlas stamp.
The name Atlas was registered by Stauffer in London in 1885 and in Switzerland in 1892. Atlas was the name of their factory in La Chaux de Fonds and watches produced there towards the end of the 19th Century were known as Atlas watches.
The Atlas name was then revived in the 1920s which is when this particular watch dates back to.
The three triangles within the Atlas logo refer to Stauffer’s third quality watches. Third quality watches were in fact their best top of the range watches (not the worst as we would think nowadays).
This particular watch measures 32.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for Glasgow 1927 with an importer’s mark for Charles Nicolet. Around 1890, Charles Nicolet took over the running of Stauffer and in fact the company traded in various names which included the Nicolet or Stauffer name.
The lens is in good condition.
The dial is signed by the original retailer of the watch, Jas Hardy & Co of Edinburgh. The lens is in good condition. One of the blued steel hands is a replacement, although still antique.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
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.
