About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Buren Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Round Dress Model METAL / MATERIAL: 14Kt. Solid Gold CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 37mm X Diameter 29mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Original Silvered with Baton Markers / Blued Steel Baton Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT Buren was a small independent factory named after the small town of Buren in the Canton of Bern, the capital of Switzerland. It was founded in 1898 and specialized in small table clocks and watches. The firm eventually was purchased by the American house of Hamilton in 1966 when they realized they could no longer produce watches in America competitively. This example likely done in the 1940's has a great art deco look in a round style with a distinctive lug design. The watch is dependable and can be worn all the time for all types of occasions.
