Universal Geneve Polerouter
Interesting info about this watch: One of the undeniable classic watches of the 20th century, the Polerouter came in many iterations. These iterations are not limited to variations in case types and dials, but in movements as well. Early Polarouter/Polerouters came with ‘bumper’-stypeautomatic movements, while later versions carried one of the iconic UG manufactured ‘microtor’ movements. With a slim profile, beautiful movement decoration, and a highly innovative design, a microtor movements from UG is a must-have for any watch enthusiast and particularly so in a Polerouter such as this.

Mulco Chronograph
Interesting info about this watch: From its establishment in 1958 through acquisition in 1973, Mulco made some outstanding watches. Although the company produced a variety of timepieces, Mulco was perhaps best known for their elegant chronographs. Given their excellent quality and styling, along with low production numbers and the company’s brief initial existence, Mulco’s vintage chronographs are sought-after rarities, especially in original condition. This particular model retains practically everything one would seek in a vintage luxury chronograph of this era, including the ‘Evil Nina’ reverse panda dial, red Paul Newman-esque highlights, a ‘waterproof’ tonneau case in unpolished Stainless Steel, and, aside from the crystal, an entirely original timepiece.

Doxa Anti-Magnetique
Interesting info about this watch: Despite its many fine attributes, this vintage Doxa is really about one thing: its outstanding dial. With both dot markers and highly unusual, hand-painted Arabic numerals which traverse both sides of the elegant chapter ring, this Doxa is an undeniable testament to their strength in design. Of course, its contemporary size and fancy downturned lugs don’t hurt either.

Gigandet Rectangular
Interesting info about this watch: Although Gigandet no longer exists—one of the many victims of the quartz crisis – they were once known primarily for their excellent series of triple-date chronographs. Criminally underrated, however, are many of their time-only pieces, such as this incredibly rare half-Deco, half-Bauhaus beauty. In absolutely excellent shape, this blue beauty easily compliments the wrists of both men and women alike.

Enicar Sherpa Guide GMT
Interesting info about this watch: The attractive and increasingly desirable Enicar Sherpa Guide GMT was once described by Hodinkee as: “The Enicar Sherpa Guide is much more than a GMT watch; calling it a world-timer would be more accurate. It does have a GMT hand and a 24-hour inner rotating bezel but both are complemented by an external rotating bezel with a red ring that allows its wearer to select their city of reference. As such, all timezones can be tracked at a glance. This watch impresses with its purposeful use of color to display such a wealth of information.” This timepiece retains its contrasting black and red color palette to allow the wearer easy, legible access to time around the world.

Sandoz, firstly, was one of the many fine Swiss watchmakers to find itself a victim of the quartz crisis.

Waltham Chronometer
Interesting info about this watch: 1960’s, Mid-Mod Waltham, self winding (automatic) chronometer watch with date. Meaning it has been tested and certified to meet certain precision standards. “Chronometer” isn't a name that any watch brand can print on the dial of its watches. The American Waltham Watch Co was founded in 1850 and was one of the largest watchmakers of the 19th century. The economic ebbs and flows of the American economy from the Civil War to present day impacted Waltham’s viability, causing it to take on new leaders, change locations and mostly change names until finally going back to its roots, the “Waltham Watch Company.” Through all its name renditions, Waltham watches are synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Hence, being given the “chronometer” title. After the closure of the Waltham manufacturing facilities in the early 1960’s, they moved to Swiss production and some of the best Waltham timepieces were manufactured in Switzerland. A favorite fact is that Abraham Lincoln wore the William Ellory Waltham wristwatch produced in 1863.

Paul Raynard Skin Diver
During the 1960s and 70s, a large number of watchmakers entered and exited the market. Some of these watchmakers were veritable manufactures, with the ability to make their own cases, movements, etc., while others were little more than a brand name. Paul Raynard was a different entity altogether, as it was the ‘house brand’ for American-based Duval Jewelers. As did Gubelin and Tiffany & Co., Duval ordered watches and watch parts made by top Swiss manufacturers of the era and rebranded them for sale in their brick-and-mortar locations. As a result, while the brand name may be unfamiliar to many, the quality of the timepiece is self-evident.

Bulova Commemorative Automatic
Relative to the many historical watchmakers still in existence today, Bulova has experienced profound changes and upheaval over the years. What began as an American watch manufacturer based in New York City is today a subsidiary of Japanese watchmaking giant Citizen. While Bulova was once primarily known as a manufacturer of fine American Decostyle wristwatches, many made in the ‘tank’ style, by the 1970s the company was making flashier, more fashion-forward timepieces. This Bulova, in NOS condition with its original box and papers, typifies the company’s aspirations at the beginning of the 1970s. As evidenced by the inscription on the caseback, this Bulova was gifted as a commemorative timepiece to a long-standing employee of Central Federal Savings in 1973.

Movado Bauhaus Calatrava
Forget everything you know about modern Movado. The watchmaker, which today is primarily known for its department store ‘Museum’ watches, once embraced an entirely different ethos. Even before its merger with Zenith in 1969, Movado was a maverick manufacture, renowned for their proprietary movements, distinctive artistic flair, and unusually high-quality cases and components. Andy Warhol famously collected Movados. This Bauhaus ‘Calatrava’-style beauty from the 1940s, with its gorgeously executed numerals, small seconds track, and blued steel hands, is an excellent illustration of what makes vintage Movados so special.Maker: Movado

Technos Skin Diver
We’re thrilled to offer this 1960’s skin diver manufactured by Technos. Revered by dive watch aficionados for their good looks and practicality, this vintage skin diver delivers on both fronts. Alongside a beautifully tropicalized blueberry ‘Explorer’-style dial and mustard handset, this timepiece is a tool watch in the truest sense. Take a look at the crown, for example. See the small hole? That’s actually a helium escape valve, a very rare feature on even the highest-end divers of the era, making this Technos a true collectors’ piece.Maker: Technos

Universal Geneve Golden Shadow
Gerald Genta famously designed some of the most important watches of the 20th century, including the AP Royal Oak, UG Polerouter (when he was only 23!), and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Although Genta eventually went on to design watches for his own brand, the timepieces he designed for other firms remain among the most legendary and sought-after. That said, despite the enormous success of certain models, other watches designed by the Genta can still be had at reasonable prices. Such examples include the model pictured here, the UG “Golden Shadow” — an automatic ultra-thin solid 18k gold containing one of UG’s famous micro-rotor movements. With its textured dial, Genta design, and solid gold casing, it’s only a matter of time before these are rediscovered.

Patek Philippe Calatravas 5026G - Rare!
Considered one of the finest Calatravas of the modern era, the 5026G seen here is an evolution of Patek’s groundbreaking 5000 series, in which the cal. 240 PS was first introduced. Powered by a solid 22k yellow gold micro-rotor, the hand-made mechanism has become the movement by which all other micro-rotors are judged. With a solid white gold case, a matte black dial, and matching white gold Breguet numerals and Breguet-style hands, this Calatrava even retains its original crystal, crown, strap, and white gold buckle. This Patek 5026G comes with its original papers and original strap and buckle.

Movado Military
Among vintage watch enthusiasts, Movado is rightfully known for its cal. 90M and 95M chronographs which were typically housed in element-resistant cases made by Fançois Borgel (FB). Though not made in large quantities and only associated with certain watchmakers, FB cases earned a reputation as both impressively sturdy and artfully designed. Patek Philippe famously used FB cases in a variety of their timepieces, and they can occasionally be spotted housing timepieces from the likes of Ulysse Nardin and Vacheron Constantin. Movado made extensive use of FB’s phenomenal cases, but not only in the context of their chronographs. This time-only military-style wristwatch is an exceptional example of how Movado employed FB cases on smaller, more discrete watches to great effect. Although it may (or may not) be missing a seconds hand, this midsize Movado is in beautiful shape, with nothing but warm yellow patina betraying its age.

Clinton Watch Co Chronograph
Here’s a brand you don’t see often enough — Clinton. Founded in Chicago during 1920s, Clinton Watch Company began not as a true manufacture, but as an entity that imported high-end Swiss watch components and assembled them domestically. Although they officially relocated to Switzerland in the 1960s, they spiraled into insolvency alongside countless peers, all victims of the quartz crisis.
This 17 jewel Clinton has a remarkably unusual dial. People often talk of ‘linen’ dials, but we can’t recall ever seeing a dial that resembles the material as closely as this Clinton. Speaking of the dial, if you take a close look under 6 o’clock, you’ll see the word “Germany”. Kind of odd for an American-Swiss watchmaker, no? Well, Clinton occasionally imported movements from Germany, making them one of few American companies to do so at that time.
