    While today's taste is oriented toward timepieces measuring at least 38mm, the situation was very different for most of the past century. Most notably, during the first half of the 1900s the standard size for men hovered between 31 and 35mm. The present wristwatch, however, features a 46mm diameter, a size which at the time must have been considered simply outlandish. In virtue of this size, the utilization of the piece was certainly professional. Compounding to its remarkable size, the construction of the lugs - straight with a triple facet - is extremely unusual as well. This is in strong contrast with what was normally seen in the early 1940s. In fact, such a style is decades ahead of its time, much closer to the 1960s and 1970s design, characterized indeed by geometric, angular case shapes.

    Last, but most definitely not least, such an unusual case construction can truly be appreciated at its fullest thanks to the astoundingly well preserved condition of the watch. Most probably it is unpolished, showcasing sharp edges and absolutely intact proportions. The collector of fine vintage timepieces will be thrilled to know that the dial too is in a similar state, absolutely devoid of any kind of cosmetic enhancement or restoration and preserved in excellent condition.
