The Helbros Watch Company was founded in 1913 in Geneva, Switzerland, by the Helbein brothers, immigrants from Russia. The company's name is a portmanteau of the Helbein brothers' last name. Helbros quickly became known for its affordable and high-quality watches.
In the early 1920s, Helbros began exporting its watches to the United States. The company's watches were quickly embraced by American consumers, and Helbros became one of the leading watch brands in the United States.
During World War II, Helbros produced watches for the US military. Helbros watches were known for their durability and reliability, and they were worn by soldiers on both sides of the Atlantic.
After the war, Helbros continued to produce popular watches for the consumer market. The company introduced a number of innovative new watch designs, including the Chronograph, the Skin Diver, and the Microvision.
Today, Helbros is one of the most respected American watch brands. The company's watches are known for their durability, reliability, and stylish designs. Helbros watches are worn by people all over the world, and the brand continues to be a leader in the watchmaking industry.
Helbros watches are also known for their relatively affordable prices, making them a popular choice for both watch enthusiasts and casual watch wearers alike.

Rare 40s Pierpont 18k Solid Yellow Gold Subdial Dress Watch New Brown Croco Band
Located in Richmond, CA
This Pierpont gent's watch is a distinguished and rare timepiece from the 1940s, embodying the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Crafted from 18k solid gold and Swiss made, it exudes luxury and refinement, making it a standout piece in any collection.
The watch is complemented by a well-matched brown crocodile leather band, which adds a touch of classic style and sophistication. The gold plaque buckle on the band enhances the overall luxurious feel of the watch, ensuring it's not just a timekeeper but a statement of style.
At the heart of this watch is a manual winding Pierpont 17 jewel Swiss movement, a testament to the precision engineering and meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The presence of a second hand sub-dial at the six o'clock position adds functionality while maintaining the watch's classic aesthetic. The movement is tested to wind and run, but not tested for accuracy.
One of the most charming aspects of this watch is the nice patina that has developed on the hands and dial over the years. This natural aging process adds character and a unique history to the watch, making it not just a piece of jewelry but a story to be told.
