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.

Swiss Made mechanical winding works well and keeps accurate time.
