Back to around 1957, this is a highly collectable Benrus Dial A Rama Jump Hour Watch, there’s a whole series to collect and these are increasing in value year after year, 1957 was a good year for original and well designed watches in the USA.

Something really nice, this Gents 14ct Yellow Gold cased 1950’s Longines Mystery Watch is in amazing condition for its age, there was a spate of brands producing Mystery Watches at that time the principle ones being Vacheron, Jaeger Le Coultre and Longines.

It’s big, it’s bold and it’s a really great looking watch, made in the 1970’s this is a Jumbo Vulcain Gents Skeleton Watch, it’s a bit of a statement watch.

Another last minute Christmas idea ! This Gents 1960’s Girard Perregaux Alarm Watch, is totally functional,yet stylish, based on the same principles as the JLC Memovox or Vulcain Cricket, this will wake you without making you jump.

Last minute Christmas idea ? How about an Ardath Long Distance Twin Time Zone Gents Watch from the early 1960’s, one of the first Twin Time Zone watches commercially available, rare and very collectable ! Make for a great stocking filler !

Sometimes price doesn’t come into the equation when discussing the look of a watch, example this 1950’s Lanco Gents Dress Watch, it’s incredibly stylish for a classic watch yet totally affordable, nice thing about this is it’s unlikely you’ll find someone else wearing the same watch !

It’s the final countdown ! This is week when Christmas and the buying of gifts really hits home, no more putting this off, it’s just gotta be done, so for the next few days here’s some nifty ideas.

Here’s a nice 1970’s Vulcain Gents Divers Watch, not to be dived in but to be admired on the wrist !

We happen to like Baume & Mercier Watches a lot, here’s one good reason, a really nice early 1960’s example of a classic Gents Dress Watch.

Something for those who are into retro watches, this isn’t for everyone ! Made by French brand Mortima in the 1970’s this is a large Watch encompassing a Temperature Gauge, a Compass and a watch , suppose it’s a 70’s Smart Watch, still it’s pretty different !

In the early 1930’s Elgin Watch Co a US based watch brand commissioned some of the best Paris based couturiers and designers to create a range of ladies watches, this watch was part of that collection, naturally called the Parisienne range, this Art Deco inspired collection is very collectable now.

An iconic Watch ……dating from the early 1950’s this is a (Jaeger) Le Coultre Powermatic Gents Dress Watch with Power Reserve.
It was the first Watch to introduce this feature, whereby the wearer could tell, when his watch was running down.

A very nice pair of Baume & Mercier Gents 18ct & Steel Sports Watches, one the left is a Baume & Mercier Riviera Gents bracelet watch initially launched in 1973, steel and gold with date function, on the right is a Baume & Mercier Malibu steel and gold bracelet watch

Something really classic …This is a 1956 Rolex Oyster Royal Gents Watch Ref 6246 , on an all steel 7835 Bracelet. A watch that never will never date !

This good looking watch from the early 1950’s has a hidden surprise, it’s called the photo watch or flip watch, made by Bulova, if you
Pull the little clip at the bottom of the case and it will open to reveal a hidden compartment in which you can store a photo of someone special !

Todays watch is a 14ct Yellow Gold cased Longines Mainliner Gents Dress Watch, this dates from the 1960’s although the design is from much earlier and this is a later version. Still it’s a stunning looking watch and would make someone very happy on Christmas morning !

So the countdown starts …it’s a month to go… so here’s some gift suggestions for him & her, something a bit different to open on Christmas Day !

So we start with this watch …dating to 1928 this is a Bulova Miss America Art Deco styled Ladies Dress Watch, absolutely gorgeous and so of the time.

We have always thought of Baume & Mercier as a brand that is seriously underrated, we have a real soft spot for B&M a well established, respected brand but somehow doesn’t get the Kudos other brands receive.

Here is a classic Gents Baume & Mercier Dress Watch from the 1950’s which will never date.

Nowadays Jacquet-Droz are known for making horological works of art for the wrist….but there was a time when they made rather nice watches where you didn’t need to sell all your worldly possessions to own one, the Watch featured dates back to the 1970s and never been worn !
