Discover an extraordinary piece of time history! Presented to you is one of the first women's wristwatches – a Swiss watch of the Qual Bout brand from the early 20th century. This is a unique artifact from a groundbreaking period when watches began moving from pockets to wrists, becoming not only a tool but also elegant jewelry.
This particular specimen delights with its classic silver case, which despite the passage of years has retained its noble character. The original textile strap adds authenticity and emphasizes its historical lineage. The watch is complete, which is extremely valuable for collectors. It does, however, require restoration – the movement currently does not run, and the whole needs professional cleaning and conservation. It therefore constitutes an excellent basis for restoration or a unique object for a collection "in as-found condition."
Why is this watch unique?
- Historical value: It belongs to the first generation of women's wristwatches, witnessing the evolution of chronometry.
- Swiss precision: The Qual Bout brand, active in the first half of the 20th century, is synonymous with fine Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.
- Material: Elegant case made of silver.
- Collector potential: A complete, original specimen with a clear history, ideal for lovers of horology, vintage jewelry, and antiques.
