Description

Gents 1930 silver Fontainemelon wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement, probably by Fontainemelon, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 26.5mm wide excluding the later winding crown and 27mm high excluding the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for Glasgow 1929. The case is in good condition for such an early piece, a small slight indentation to the back and a little unevenness to one side but overall not too detrimental at all. The back of the watch has an inscription, ‘Reg from Ivy, Nov 27th 30’.

The curved lens is in good condition (some reflection showing in the photos).

The dial is in its original finish. One of the hands is a period replacement.

The watch has a vintage leather strap, and it all comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Silver Wristwatch to the 1930s.

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

FAQs

Wristwatches from the 1930s frequently featured geometric case shapes, such as square or rectangular forms, influenced by the prevailing art deco aesthetic of the period.

Timepieces from this era commonly utilised sterling silver, nickel chrome, or rolled gold for cases, paired with leather straps and glass crystals.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the movement calibre, hallmarks inside the case back, dial typography, and the presence of natural ageing and wear consistent with the period.

A vintage timepiece serves as a sophisticated accessory that pairs well with tailored formal wear or adds classic contrast to casual everyday attire.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing by a professional horologist, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to maintain working order.
