Art Deco Ladies Wrist Watch Old Stock, Never Worn, by Bifora, C1930

1920 - 1940
Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a perfect condition Art Deco ladies manual wrist watch which is what we call 'old new stock', that is to say it's of the period dating to the 1930's but has never been sold, marketed or worn, as you can imagine that's pretty rare. Made by Germany's first watch company Bifora. Watches in this condition, from those years are unique and difficult to find. Never worn this timepiece has been kept in a drawer for several dozen years.

In June 2022 this watch had a thorough service, fully stripped, cleaned, oiled and timed. Runs on 15 Jewels.

Chrome-plated, never worn, slightest, superficial storage marks, very good condition for the age, 33 x 22 mm without lugs. Original, cream-coloured dial with Arabic numerals, finely painted yellow hands and numerals with luminescent paint (the paint does not seem to be in working - doesn't show up in the dark) ). The glass crystal is unscratched. New leather strap has been added.

The watch is perfect both for everyday wear and for adding to the collections. Lovely watch any lady would love to wear. The case back is free of any engravings, shows no wear-through to the plating. Still with it's original label!

All of our watches are sent out in complimentary presentation boxes, ideal for gifting and to store for personal collection.

As the first German watch manufacturer Bifora was able to produce their own watch movement in series already in 1928. One took also a leading position when in 1951 the first German automatic movement could be presented.
