Gents Silver Rotary Wrist Watch, 1931

Gents silver Rotary wrist watch, 1931.

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

The watch measures 30mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Glasgow 1931 with a sponsor’s mark for Sylvain Dreyfuss.

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

The case is in good condition for such an early piece, just minor marking but nothing serious at all.

A later replacement crown.

The lens has a couple of small marks but you have to look closely to see them.

The dial has a faint hairline running from the centre up towards number 10, but difficult to see with the naked eye.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a stylish vintage Rotary presentation box.
