All original, freshly serviced and working perfectly: a vintage Swiss Made Certina pocket watch. The dial reads "Kurth Frères", an homage to the brothers who founded the company back in the late 1880s. This piece presumably dates back to the 1990s, and is most likely one of the last pocket watches Certina made after demand for pocket watches in general dropped off. The front features a glossy white dial with black elongated Roman numerals and Spade style hands. A sub dial at the 6 O'Clock position counts down the seconds. The dial has aged well: no chips or cracks can be found, and all lettering is still sharp and clear. It is housed in a stainless steel pocket watch case measuring 48mm in diameter.
Inside we find a high quality Swiss Made Unitas 6497 movement, which is still in production to this day under the ETA brand. It is the same movement used in a number of larger high quality wristwatches, such as Omega, Hamilton and Panerai.
The watch was lovingly serviced with eye for authenticity. Its movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is now working perfectly for years to come. The outside case has been cleaned entirely as well, but left unpolished to maintain its patina and originality. The case shows normal scratches from regular use, but is otherwise free from any coarse damage. A brand new plexiglass crystal was fitted. Accompanying the pocket watch is its original burgundy Certina presentation box. In all, a very well preserved and fully functional piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
