Gents 9ct Gold Rotary Wrist Watch, 1929

A gents 9ct gold Rotary wrist watch, 1929.

The watch has a 15 jewel Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Rotary wings logo.

Rotary Watches Ltd was established at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, by Moise Dreyfuss in 1895. By the 1920s family members Georges and Sylvain Dreyfuss began importing Rotary watches, such as this one, into Britain, and this was to become the company's most successful market. 

The case is in good condition and there is nice detailing along each side.

The slight convex lens is in good condition.

The dial is in its original finish with original Breguet style hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. There is a scratch between 4 and 5.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
