Catalogue Essay
The present watch is a nice example of early 20th century workmanship. The engraving to the case band and bezel is attractive and sharp and creates a degree of three dimensional depth. The stylized numerals are accompanied with oak leaf surround which are reminiscent of the Art Deco period and add to the modern design.
