In 1920's, after the "war to end all wars", with prosperity on the horizon, people want to sport their fashions.  

Watchmakers were not left behind - fresh, unusual and even bizarre ideas surfaced and we saw the introduction of wristwatches with cushion,  tonneau and large curved hinged cases. 
Exaggerated, even outlandish illegible numerals were used and there was no limit to the shapes and designs  - which look futuristic to the uninitiated but truly ART DECO.

The wrist watches of the 1920's were certainly an intrinsic part of the fashion of the times.  These large, distorted and "fun" watches with exploding or exaggerated numbers are fondly
sought after by present collectors (myself included) and replicated by today's large watch houses for obvious reasons...............

SOLO ART DECO

EARLY ART DECO "SOLO" wristwatch  Swiss Made, circa 1920s.

Housed in a sterling silver HINGED back case which has oxidised gracefully, typical of silver cases, which adds vintage charm to the watch. 

The case can be polished easily but we would leave it to the new owner to decide as it takes time to develop this patina and any polish work done is irreversible. But really, the watch looks a lot better than pictures.

The watch measures 24mm excluding crown, 27mm including crown and 45 mm lug to lug.

Fixed wire lugs fitted with vintage leather strap.

Look at the nicely aged ORIGINAL exploding numbers dial !!!!  I just love the luminous markers and the original matching skeleton hands.
