About This Watch
Vintage. No boxes or papers.
A very fine Vacheron & Constantin Genève open face pocket watch in solid 18ct yellow gold case with a most alluring dial influenced by the house of Breguet with a pair of matching decorative hands in gold that sparkles under light. It is fitted with a very high quality & slim movement; jewelled to the center. The manufacture of this dial requires the plate to be engraved with the signature and seconds divisions then filled with black enamel and fired in a kiln. The minute dots on the perimeter, known as Perlé is carefully machined to exact proportions then finally the Gold appliqué Arabic numerals are added to finish it off. The polished gold case has fine micro hairlines with minor shallow dents but nothing alarming and the fine engravings plus enamelling along the edge retains their crisp details. The movement works very well and balance ticks with strong vigour.
This watch dates to mid-1920s and known as the Roar'in twenties as the world recovers from WWI. In particularly Western such as Europe and America saw a rapid growth in social and arts culture followed by exploration to Asia, Africa, Amazon and Egyptian cultures that influenced Art Deco. By mid-20s, prosperity was widespread and even Germany benefited by the later of that decade known as Golden twenties. This watch has minute details of those as evidenced.
Vacheron & Constantin is the oldest watch manufacturer in continuing production for the last four centuries centuries starting in 1755 and our watch here dates back to 1926 so this watch is almost a century old.
This watch was there and saw it all including the devastating WW2. It is more than a Century old now and was made by the Geneva factory for the European market with a triple signed case, dial and movement.
Tripled signed. Takes about 20 winds to full.
