Antique Art Deco Pocket Watch by Tissot

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Art Deco pocket watch by Tissot.

The watch has a 15-jewel (2 adjustments) stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Tissot, and it carries the serial number 397306 which dates it back to around 1925.

The watch measures 47.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and it has a handsome Art Deco pattern to the hinged case back. The case is in beautiful condition.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is signed Ch F Tissot & Fils, Locle. Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile Tissot founded the company in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland. The dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers and red 24 hour number markers. A shade or two of darkening and a little marking to the dial.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

This open-face pocket watch dates from the Art Deco period of 1920. It has a gold-plated metal case with a glass lens, a gold-coloured champagne dial, and a geometric top bow. The visual features include stylised Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds dial, and red 24-hour number markers. The dial is signed Ch F Tissot & Fils, Locle, and the watch has original hands, outer minute markers, and a little marking and darkening to the dial. Three further visual details are the stem-winding mechanism, the hinged case back with a patterned finish, and the loop at the top of the stem. The watch measures 47.5mm in diameter excluding the winding stem and loop. This piece is suitable for display in a home cabinet or as part of a portable collection.

FAQs

Art Deco pocket watches, produced predominantly during the 1920s and 1930s, are characterised by geometric typography, streamlined cases, and clean dial layouts that reflect the modern architectural movements of the era.

Swiss pocket watches from this era frequently utilised solid gold, rolled gold, or gold-filled cases paired with metal or enamel dials, glass crystals, and manual-wind mechanical movements.

Authenticity is verified through maker signatures on the dial and movement, hallmark stamps inside the case back, matching movement numbers, and period-appropriate font stylings.

Pocket watches can be displayed under a glass cloche on a specialized pocket watch stand, framed in a shadow box display, or placed on a valet tray as a functional decorative accent.

Store pocket watches in a dry environment away from magnetic fields, wind them regularly if in active use, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
