Vintage Swiss HELVETIA gold-plated case pocket watch works well
SKU: 169897200
HELVETIA is a watch manufacturer with a history founded in 1895, although it is not well known.
It's designed in Art Deco style, so I'm guessing it's from the 1920s-1940s.
This pocket watch features a case shaped like a drop of water.
It is thin and has a size that fits comfortably in your hand.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
