Vintage Swiss HELVETIA gold-plated case pocket watch works well
SKU: 169897200
We would like to introduce an antique pocket watch from the Swiss watch manufacturer "HELVETIA."
HELVETIA is a little-known watch manufacturer, founded in 1895 and with a long history.
The design is in the Art Deco style, so it is likely from the 1920s to 1940s.
This pocket watch features a case shaped like a water drop.
It is thin and has a size that fits comfortably in your hand.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope this lovely antique watch will brighten your everyday life!
