{"product_id":"60-70s-france-silver-blue-dial-watch","title":"1960s-70s French silver watch with a blue dial","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautiful silver watch from 1960s-70s France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was captivated by the deep midnight blue dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile you often see standard white, black, or mother-of-pearl, a colored dial like this is quite rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe square-shaped silver chain, matched to the shape of the dial, is also elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs an accessory, it is refined and perfectly complete. How is it so stylish?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI often wonder why they don't mass-produce silver watches anymore...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLike the other two items I released at the same time, it seems that dials made of 925 silver existed up until the 90s or early 2000s,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ebut nowadays, even high-end brands basically use stainless steel. It doesn't rust and it's durable, so it's good, but\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI truly believe the radiance of pure silver is one of a kind. This feeling of luxury that can only be experienced with vintage pieces is irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSince it's an accessory that also tells time, it really tickles my fancy as an object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is a manual-wind watch, so please wind it every day. (See below for details)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYesterday, I saw a video where my favorite actor, Eddie Redmayne, introduced this type of mechanical watch as one of his essential items,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eand he described the act of manual winding by saying, \"it's weirdly... satisfying.\" I thought, \"Yes, exactly, exactly! Eddie is the best.\" (Haha)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf you're curious, please search for \"GQ JAPAN Eddie Redmayne.\" It’s so interesting to see him being such a quintessential British gentleman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt first glance, this action might seem tedious, but it's funny how when it's a watch you truly love and cherish, that bit of effort starts to feel endearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRecently, I’ve been keeping mine on the tray with the items I grab every morning before heading out (my lipstick, AirPods, etc.), and I wind it and set the time when I put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI’ve digressed, but this is highly recommended, and since silver watches have become popular again recently, this is the last one in stock for now. If you’ve had your eye on it, don't miss out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInside the clasp, which snaps shut securely, is the French maker's mark. It also features the crab hallmark, which indicates 800 silver, common for this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA mechanical watch with a mainspring, wound by hand using the crown on the side of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEver since I bought it, it has been running vigorously with almost no deviation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePlease wind the crown fully once a day and set the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI personally cherish an antique manual-wind watch myself,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eand although it might lose a little time at first, it’s strange how it gradually stops losing time as you wind it every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWatches are like living things, much like old sneakers; they last longer if you use them every day and take good care of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven though it’s working well now, since it is an old item, it might stop someday,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebut this is a watch I would want to cherish and keep for a long time, even if it requires an overhaul.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt will likely be stopped by the time it reaches you,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eso please wind it fully, pull the crown to set the time,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eand if possible, wind it slowly to the full extent at the same time every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRotating the crown while it is pushed in winds the watch; pulling the crown outward allows you to set the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI've heard that frequent, small amounts of winding are not good for its durability,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eso please wind it \"once a day,\" \"at the same time,\" and \"all the way to the end\"! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt will be packed securely for shipping so the watch does not move inside the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e送料込み \/ Free Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterial - 素材 silver 800\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLong - 長さ 16.8cm (when clasped)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003emodel wrist - モデルの手首 14cm \/ 16cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight - 重さ 45.4g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition - \u003c\/span\u003eコンディション\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOverall it is in good condition.
