Description

1940s ‘New Old Stock’ Mimo wrist watch.

The watch has a good quality hand-winding movement, signed Mimo Fab Suisse, which is working nicely.

Mimo (Manufacture Internationale de Montres Or) was founded in 1918 by Otto Graef, a German born watch maker who emigrated to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The Graef family went on to buy, and subsequently rescue, the watch brand Girard Perregaux

This particular watch measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 31mm high. Originally designed as a man's watch, it could be worn by either a lady or a man. The case is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition, as is the slightly convex lens.

The signed dial is in super original condition with original hands, a small subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch retains its original suede strap.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Mimo Wristwatch to the 1940s.

FAQs

Wristwatches from the 1940s frequently feature geometric cases, distinct Arabic numerals, and subsidiary seconds dials, influenced by late Art Deco and utilitarian design trends of the wartime and post-war eras.

These timepieces typically utilized chrome-plated or stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, manual-wind mechanical movements with brass components, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the movement calibre for maker hallmarks, checking the dial typography and patina for consistency with age, and inspecting case back stampings.

A vintage timepiece can be worn as a statement accessory with tailored attire or displayed on a specialist watch stand as part of a curated study or dressing room decor.

Preservation requires avoiding exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, storing in a climate-controlled environment, and scheduling periodic professional servicing of the mechanical movement.
