Description

1930s Cortebert pocket watch.

Cortebert was founded in Cortebert, Switzerland in 1790 by Abraham-Louis Juillard although he did not officially register the name until 1855. Cortebert traded very successfully earning a reputation for manufacturing both high quality watches and movements. They also supplied railroad watches, where accuracy and reliability is paramount, for Turkey and Italy.

The company ceased trading in the 1970s, as did so many other mechanical watch manufacturers with the advent of the quartz era.

The watch has a nice quality signed 15 jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel. The front is in good condition. The case back has general surface marking but nothing too serious.

The acrylic lens has minor marking from use but overall it is in nice condition.

The signed dial is in nice condition.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
