Description

Gents Art Deco wrist watch, 1930s.

The watch has a Swiss Schild calibre 984 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 25.5mm wide excluding the later Cartier style winding crown with cabochon, and 31mm high excluding the lugs. The case is rolled gold and was made by Esbro, a brand name registered by Benjamin Schlesinger SA in 1927. The case is in good condition, just very small areas of rubbing, nothing serious at all.

The lens has light marking but is very acceptable.

The dial is in lovely condition, with the stylised Art Deco numbers being a handsome feature. Original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes on a later strap, and it all comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Art Deco Wristwatch to the 1930s.

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

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 up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

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.

FAQs

Art Deco wristwatches, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s, are characterised by geometric cases, stylised numeral fonts, and symmetrical designs that reflect industrial modernity and sleek elegance.

These timepieces typically featured cases made from gold, gold-plated metal, or stainless steel, paired with mineral glass crystals and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is determined by examining the mechanical movement hallmarks, case engravings, dial typography, and signs of genuine age such as patina on the metal and dial.

A vintage wristwatch can be worn as a classic statement accessory, pairing exceptionally well with tailored formal wear or elevated smart-casual outfits.

Keep the mechanical movement away from moisture and extreme magnetic fields, wind it gently at consistent times if in working order, and store it in a dry environment.
