Our View
Smiths nurse’s watches from this period are increasingly hard to find, particularly in such remarkable condition and complete with the original box. With its red-tipped seconds hand designed specifically for pulse timing and its clever uniform clip, this watch is a wonderful example of purposeful mid-20th-century design. A genuine piece of social and medical history, and one you are unlikely to come across again.
Chase Hattan Watches has dated this piece to the 1960s.
