Zegarek szwajcarski kieszonkowy z pudełkiem ochronnym kombatanta Wehrmacht 1914—
€275.86
A unique collector's set, combining the elegance of pre-war watchmaking with the dark history of militaria. The offer includes a working, unnamed pocket watch of Swiss origin, which only requires professional cleaning and maintenance to once again measure time. Its mechanism works, but after running for a while it stops, which is typical for antique timepieces needing service.
The true historical and collector value lies in the original veteran's case (Kombattanten-Büchse) from the period of World War I, belonging to a German Wehrmacht soldier with number 1014. On the watch case there is a German inscription, flags, and the date 1914.
Condition and details:
- Watch: Swiss movement, no visible brand. Functional, but requires cleaning and regulation (stops). Ideal project for an enthusiast who wants to restore its former glory.
- Case: Original protective case for a veteran's watch (Kombattanten-Büchse) with embossed date 1914 and markings indicating affiliation with the German armed forces (Wehrmacht) from the period of World War I. Unique material trace of a soldier's history.
