Gents 1930 Silver Rotary Maximus Wristwatch

Gents 1930 silver Rotary Maximus wrist watch.

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

The watch measures 22mm wide excluding the winding crown and 32mm high excluding the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks on the back of the watch for Glasgow 1930 with an importer's mark for Sylvain Dreyfus, part of the Dreyfus family who imported Rotary watches into the UK. The case has the odd mark but overall is in good condition for such an early piece.

The curved lens is in good condition.

The dial is the real feature of this watch, and most unusual in design as the numbers an outer minute track are actually blue enamel. They give the watch a charming appearance and real 1930s style. The dial also has blued steel hands and a sunken subsidiary seconds dial. There is some darkening to the dial but still very easy to read.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a lovely vintage presentation box from the Watchmaker, Jeweller and Opticians John Wakefield of Horsham.
