About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: International Watch Co. for Peerless STYLE / REFERENCE: Campaign Style / Half Hunter METAL / MATERIAL: Sterling Silver & Enamel CIRCA / YEAR: 1915 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 38mm X Diameter 33mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Silver Engine Turned with Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is a rare watch by the legendary house of International or I.W.C. watch company. We have never seen this unique watch before. The case is done in Sterling Silver and we date it to around 1915 based on its style. The design is called a "half hunter" because it allows you to glance at the time first. What is unique about this watch is that the cover snaps open, it does not have a button set into the crown as other examples of this watch have. The setting is done by pushing in the pin at 3:30. And also uniquely, the dial is engine turned and done in Sterling Silver as well. Peerless was a private label house using movements by several Swiss Ebauch makers. Some of the Peerless movements, such as this one were made for then by I.W.C. We have never seen another example of this watch, that means you will not either. You can wear this watch for casual events and count on it to get you there on time, every time.

Howard was an exceptional watchmaker who had worked originally for the Willard Clock Company. Willard was the premier American clock maker and advanced American horology. Howard’s exceptional designs and innovations helped establish America as a watchmaking capital along with the Waltham Watch Company. Howard’s creativity helped establish the principles of industrialization and standardized parts. Howards watches were rugged and very accurate as well. Their case designs were innovative as well. Howard watches were used by scientists and engineers in military and industry because they were rugged and dependable. In 1903, the Howard Watch Company was acquired by the Keystone Watch Case Company. Keystone continued to produce Howard watches under the Howard brand name until 1935. By that time the great depression had taken its toll on all but the most robust watch companies. During the 1920’s Howard produced the 12-size caliber which was a beautifully finished watch that kept exceptional time. It was also one of the few American watches that met most of the standards of what is called a “Geneva Seal...

IWC PORTOFINO Ladies Quartz Stainless Steel Watch, Ref. IW4531 - Original Papers
By IWC
Located in Suwanee, GA
NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating. IWC PORTOFINO Ladies Quartz Stainless Steel Watch, Ref. IW4531 - Original Papers & Booklets Gorgeous Condition - Original Papers & Booklets - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this very fine IWC Portofino ladies watch in gorgeous condition with original papers and booklets. In design and construction it is very similar to the Portofino's available new today. As the IWC website states, "Over the past three decades, the Portofino watch family has established itself as one of IWC Schaffhausen's most successful families and is equally popular with both men and women. This is due to both the steady demand for classic models and the puristic design of the Portofino models. The origins of the large minimalistic case design for the Portofino can be traced back to the 1970's, when the Lepine pocket watch became the inspiration for the entire watch family. The 'pocket-watch-style-wristwatch' was presented in 1984 with the name 'Portofino'. Since then, this watch family, with timepieces that retain their value and, above all, remain timeless, has been a permanent part of IWC's collection." Powering it is one of the company's quartz movements that never needs to be wound. We are pleased to offer it in such gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice. Its case and dial present as mint. On the wrist it presents essentially like new. A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center. He also has done authorized watchmaking work for the Richemont Group's Service Center, owner of Cartier, IWC Schaffhausen, and many others.
