A French silver watch from the 60s or 70s.
It is a chic and beautiful watch with a minimal look, featuring no brand name and almost no ornamentation.
The cream-beige dial paired with the brownish-gold second hand is exquisite, and the font of the numbers,
the thick crystal glass—everything about it is irresistible. haha
Yet it doesn’t feel old-fashioned; it is a refined classic. It is both a wonderful silver bracelet and a timepiece.
As it is a women’s model, the construction is delicate, fitting snugly on the wrist for a comfortable feel,
making it perfect for daily use.
Women in the past must have had smaller wrists, as many of these are small in size, which is just right and very appreciated for us petite Japanese people.
It features a diamond-shaped maker's mark similar to silver jewelry from the same era,
as well as the "crab" hallmark for silver 800, which is commonly seen in items from this period.
The actual inner circumference is 15.1cm, but a male model with a 16cm wrist could just barely wear it, fitting snugly.
For those with a wrist circumference of 16cm or less, I recommend this as a unisex piece.
It is a mechanical watch that you hand-wind using the crown on the side of the dial.
Ever since I purchased it, it has been running vigorously with almost no time deviation.
Please wind the crown fully once a day and set the time.
I personally use an antique hand-wound watch myself, and
while it might lose a little time at first, it strangely stops drifting as much the more you wind it daily.
Watches are like living things, much like a pair of old sneakers; if you treat them with care, they will run well and last a long time.
Even though it is running well now, it is an old item, so it may eventually stop one day,
but that is a watch I would want to treasure and maintain through an overhaul if that time comes.
It will likely be stopped by the time it reaches you,
so please wind it fully, pull the crown to set the time, and
if possible, wind it fully every day at the same time, slowly.
Winding it too frequently is not good for its durability,
so please stick to "once a day," "at the same time," and "winding it to the end"!
Once you get used to it, it becomes a habit; I keep mine on the kitchen table, which is easy to remember, and wind it every morning. haha
We will ship it securely packed so that the watch does not move inside.
