Up for sale is a wonderful, highly inspiring instant estate lot of two (2) vintage early 20th-century ladies' wristwatches. This unsearched project collection offers a fantastic mix of Art Deco shapes, unique mechanical layouts, and classic period hardware, making it a perfect bench restock for hobbyist watchmakers, alternative jewelry designers, or steampunk altered-art makers.
The estate lot highlights include:
1. TWO (2) VINTAGE Art Deco INVAR WRISTWATCHES: Rare 1920s Swiss-made geometric octagonal watches from the historic Compagnie des Montres Invar (La Chaux-de-Fonds). One is mounted on a gorgeous etched metal link expansion bracelet; the other features an exceptionally unique, stylized black-and-gold patterned woven geometric fabric expansion strap!
necklace suspension or pin attachments. Both watches have stylish Art Deco monograms on the back case.
Condition & Technical Disclosures (Please Read):
- Functional Status: ALL WATCHES ARE CURRENTLY NON-RUNNING. The internal mechanical movements have been wound but do not currently tick or engage the gear trains. Sold strictly AS-IS for parts, repair, salvage, or creative jewelry crafting.
- Case & Crystal Disclosures: As noted by the seller, the watch with the black fabric ribbon strap is missing its front clear protective crystal layer. The cases display honest vintage character wear and natural estate patina from decades of tray storage. This includes expected surface scuffs, localized gold plating wear/brassing, natural dial age-toning, and minor scratches across the crystals as explicitly shown in the gallery photos. No pieces have been altered or cleaned.
A fantastic, hassle-free project bundle to clear off your workbench or add directly to your crafting supply drawers!
Shipping Details:
The watches will be padded securely in protective bubble wrap layers to ensure they do not clank together or scratch in transit, then shipped promptly inside a sturdy shipping box via USPS Ground Advantage. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks for looking!
