This unique watch is the first watch to ever receive a patent from the Swiss Patent office for an automatic watch.
The patent, issued in 1924 was to John Harwood for his automatic watch. This is a rare example being in rose gold and having the engraved dial. We seldom see this rare watch. Another unusual feature of this unique watch was the setting mechanism. Without the crown to wind the watch, the setting was done through the bezel by turning and engaging the setting system. Remarkably, this nearly 100 year old watch can still be worn and counted on to get you there on time.
