This Watch This all-original Omega Semaster, model 2577 is a classic example of 1950s watch design! It's spectacular, two-tone dial has a sense of symmetry with the mixed, mirror, Arabic and arrow markers, as well as the chrome hour, minute and sweeping central seconds hands. A classic piece and perfect for the vintage omega enthusiast. The Omega bumper automatic caliber 351 is housed inside a stainless steel, screw-back case, complete with the chunkier lugs that are so familiar in 1950s watches. Omega today have added this watch to the Heritage collection and it really is a flagship model. Original dials appeal to everyone and patina adds to character, This dial is totally original and has some imperfections but nothing which in our opinion detracts. Extra Points Founded by Louis Brandt in 1848, Omega started out as La Generale Watch Co., an unassuming, but international business. It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass-produced caliber, the Labrador, was released. By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland. Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War. One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches. Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space. It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew. Omega are still involved with NASA and have been instrumental in creating vital pieces of equipment for space exploration. Omega's reputation continued to soar in the 1990s with Omega Seamaster worn by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. As well as post-1995 James Bonds, Omega has been worn by the likes of Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Prince William, Rory McIlroy, Ringo Starr, Michael Phelps, Cindy Crawford and George Clooney. This watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover. What we think We love the feel of the bumper movement inside the watch. It just sings 1950s technology to us! What we love even more though, is when that movement is with an all-original watch! And a Seamaster no less! Looks great on both genders and a must-have in any collection!

1950 Omega Seamaster Original Condition Automatic Bumper with Arabic Numerals and Arrow Markers in Stainless Steel Model 2577

This Watch We have here a stunning and rare Omega Deco rectangular wristwatch from 1934. The off-white dial is the epitome of luxurious 1930s design with a mixture of red and black hour markers, outer minute tracking and a subsidiary seconds dial. The black, lozenge-shaped hands complement the black hour markers and contribute to the easy reading of the dial. The watch sits in a rectangular-shaped, 14ct gold case, which would have been made for the American market. Inside is a rare Omega caliber 20F, fully serviced by us and running strongly. We've paired the watch on a brown leather strap but it looks great dressed up on black, too.

What we think For a watch of this age, we would recommended that it is considered for occasional use, once or twice a week. This is largely because watches of this age weren't built to deal with modern life. They do not have dust proofing, shock absorption and are easily magnetised. Please do try and keep the watch away from magnets such as computers, phones, speakers etc. Spec Stuff Serial : 768**** Reference : 8570271 Movement : Cal. 20FAge : 1931/1940Specific Age : 1934Case Size : 22mm Case Thickness : Lug to Lug : 36mmLugs : 18mmCondition : Pre-OwnedBox & Papers : NoCase Material : 14ct GoldService History : 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty

1934 Omega with Red and Black Markers in 14ct Gold Deco Shaped Rectangular Case with Rare Caliber 20F

This Watch We have here a stunning mechanical manual wind Longines from 1953, model 6244. We particularly love the original dial with a mix of Arabic numerals and arrow markers. The watch has a real sense of symmetry with Dauphine hour and minute hands and a seconds hand. The watch is also signed with 'Longines' and their famous winged hourglass logo at 12 o'clock. The dial is a real embodiment of 1950s design and we can't stop staring at it! The compact 32mm, stainless steel case makes for a comfortable wear for both him and her and has angled lugs. Inside is the mechanical manual wind Longines caliber 23zs, fully serviced by us and running stongly. We've paired the watch on a brown strap, but it looks great on black and leather too! VIEW A SHORT PRODUCT VIDEO HERE SOON! Extra Points Founded in 1832, Longines has a rich and exciting history. The company produced their first movement, the 20A, in 1867 near the Swiss town of Saint-Imier, in a place called Es Longines ("long meadows"). This movement won an award at the Exhibition Universelle in Paris in the same year. Longines are credited with advancing the industrialisation of Swiss watchmaking and it because of their new mechanical procedures, they were able to produce a simple chronograph movement, the 20H, as early as 1878. It was the first mechanism that Longines had made that could be used for precise timing and it was so popular with horse racing bettors and spectators that by the end of 1886, Longines were supplying chronographs to the majority of New York's sports officials. It is still the official timekeeper of many horse races, with over 40 in its annual calendar. The Longines brand name and logo were officially registered with the United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property (later the WIPO) in 1889. Longines is the oldest brand name registered with the WIPO that is unchanged and still in use today. Longines is now part of the Swatch Group, having joined in 1983. This watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover. What we think We are big fans of Longines here at AWC and this piece is about as good a vintage, pre-owned Longines as you will find. Perfect for the vintage watch newbie or seasoned collector. If you're looking for an affordable, attractive and reliable vintage watch, you'd be pushed to find a better example for him or her.

1951 Longines Manual Wind Wristwatch Model 6244 with Gorgeous Original Dial Cal 23zs

This watch Well now for something very different! can we call this a vintage eco friendly watch , Not only a very individual and attractive design but also using a rare combination of solid silver and wood. Seven connected circles each linked with 925 grade silver and outer wooden frames. We have never seen a watch like it and probably never will. Favre-Leuba were renown for producing unusual and innovative watches during the 1960d and 70s but this is pretty outstanding in our opinion. Fully mechanical manual winding swiss FL jewelled movement with a very attractive, almost porcelain white dial and roman numerals , moon type hour and minute hands with a design taken from the 1900-1920s. This watch comes totally unused new old stock which is another amazing bonus! you could be the first to wear it! The watch is probably for someone equally unique and individual and someone who appreciates design and quality. In truth if this was a gents size i would totally wear it myself. A real statement piece and i will go as far as saying "Find me another" It could well be connected to any established watch designer of its time however we have been unable to connect it to anyone so far. The search Continues..... Extra Points Maison Favre-Leuba over time It is the year 1737. In Le Locle, a small Swiss village in the Jura mountains and in the heart of the watchmaking world, Abraham Favre decided to officially register his Manufacture producing timepieces. It was one of the earliest watchmaking companies. From the very start Abraham Favre concentrated on improving the technology of his timepieces, and the quality of the materials employed in their manufacture. Thanks to his hard work and pioneering spirit, the business expanded and was passed down through eight generations of the Favre family. It was his grandson Henry-Auguste, who in 1814 went a step further by going into partnership with Auguste Leuba, a watch dealer from Buttes in the Val-de-Travers. By the 19th and early 20th centuries Favre-Leuba had ramifications around the world, with offices or representations throughout the Middle East, India and Asia, North/South America, Russia and other European countries. The business remained in the same family over eight generations, through to 1969. Then the quartz revolution came along, bringing many changes for the industry. Favre-Leuba, one of the largest companies of its time, passed through different hands such as Benedom SA and LVMH before finally regaining its independence in 2003. Extra Points Totally unique design and abstract case. innovative case construction and a cool materials The dial, hands , case and bracelet all WORK! effect. Be different and don't follow the crowd.

This Watch Omega's famous caliber T17 sits in a pod style clip sealed rectangular stainless steel case. This model 3635 in stainless steel has the most attractive patina to the dial which has aged to a very unique bronze which seems to change colour and tone in different light. The dial also has the rarer all Arabic painted numerals and open hands. One of Omega watch companies Early attempts to moisture proof a 4 sided case. The 'Marine' Range was a ground breaking innovative design from the 1930s. This is the second Generation of the Marine, The first sliding case version was introduced in the early 30s. The world's first commercially available divers' watch (CK679) was introduced by OMEGA in 1932. Named the Marine, it utilised an ingenious, patented double case sealed with cork to keep water and the elements away from the heart of the watch. Taking the innovation further, OMEGA also introduced an adjustable clasp with a divers' extension so that wearers could fit the watch comfortably to their own wrist. The OMEGA Marine became an instant success and helped to make a very dangerous profession a lot safer. For many diving pioneers, it was the watch of choice. Going deeper than any watch before, it was successfully tested in Lake Geneva not far from OMEGA's headquarters at a depth of 73 metres. Even more stringent laboratory tests were carried out five years later and found the watch to be completely waterproof to a depth of 135 metres. We've paired the watch on a period, vintage Bonklip style, stainless steel bracelet with an unusual clasp system. A leather of choice can also be supplied .On the case back is the Text ' waterproof and the serial number. PLEASE DO NOT consider this very rare and collected piece as water proof now.

Extra Points ROY KING WRISTWATCHES ROY CECIL KING was a leading British watch designer and jeweller with customers ranging from Saudi princes to The Beatles and Tom Jones. He began his career at the age of 14 as an apprentice goldsmith and diamond mounter in Hatton Garden. By 21 he was foreman of a workshop creating one-off pieces which found high profile buyers through Bond Street jewellers. Much of his work in the 1930s was as an uncredited manufacturer for names such as Rolex, Cartier, Asprey and Garrard. On his first day as an apprentice jewellery, King was put next to a consumptive Italian master craftsman and told to learn what he could before the man died. A tubercular cough rendered King’s taskmaster highly impatient and he would crush any work which fell short of perfection. In the evenings, King went to classes at the Sir John Cass Art School, perfecting his skills at diamond mounting. In his spare time he performed in a jazz band as a pianist and comic master of ceremonies. During the Second World War, King worked as a planning engineer on the production line of the Hurricane, eventually heading up a 100-strong department at De Havilland. There he used machine tool techniques which he would later apply to jewellery and watch manufacture. After the war, King began to design and make watches under his own name. ROY KING WRISTWATCHES He set up his own workshop in Watford, where he offered “everything from a tiara to a tiepin”. In 1952 he produced five strawberry leaf tiaras for duchesses to wear at the Coronation. At about this time, King began exporting his pieces to offset the effects of the then 100 per cent tax on luxury goods in Britain. He soon began to concentrate on watch manufacture, or, as he described it, “jewellery that tells the time”. When restrictions on the import of Swiss watch movements were lifted in 1960, King decided to integrate these into his own designs. He realised that whoever the manufacturer might be, people still wanted “Swiss Made” moving parts. King signed an exclusive agency agreement with Bueche-Girod, the Swiss movement makers, which left him free to design the exterior of the pieces as he wished. He also began to make watches with straps made wholly from gold, then a novel idea. In 1961, the Roy King workshop swept the board at the British Modern Jewellery Exhibition, winning two first prizes, as well as one second and one third prize. The winning pieces are now in the permanent collection of Goldsmiths’ Hall. During the 1960s, the workshop produced many designs using a variety of unconventional methods. Molten gold would be poured through tea strainers before being stretched into shapes to satisfy the most avant garde tastes. King’s “bark finish” design for bracelets sparked a craze: when George Harrison married Patti Boyd in 1966, she wore one of King’s bark finish wedding bands. In 1965, King built his own factory near Watford, where he employed 65 staff who made 25,000 gold and silver pieces a year. In 1971, he won a National Export Council Award, and the same year became a Freeman of the City of London. In 1973, he bought the Swiss watch company La Montre Royale de Geneve. The 18ct gold and platinum range sold under this brand name were among the most luxurious ever produced with precious stone dials. Away from his workshop, King enjoyed tennis and backgammon, and drove a white Rolls-Royce. He lived to see many of his earlier pieces come up for auction at London salerooms. In 1999 several items by him were included in a “Treasures of the Twentieth Century” exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall. The watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with our 12 months, non-waterproof service cover. What we think From one of the high-end jewellery and watch designers and Makers this watch is the very definition of elegance and luxury. With clear nods to Cartier's designs, but still very much in keeping with the RK innovative jewellery and watch designs, this is the perfect watch for every collection!
