V Rare Rolex Prince Art-Deco c1939 Observatory Grade Rose Gold “Doctors” Watch
By Rolex
Located in MELBOURNE, AU
This extremely rare in such a fine condition,
Art-Deco Rolex PRINCE wristwatch is dating back to circa 1939
Old magazine ads described this timepiece as
“a watch for men of distinction” and also “limited to a small number –
such fine watches cannot be produced quickly or in large quantities”,
while the Tatler’s 7th October 1931 edition called it
“a super-grade wristwatch of outstanding merit & distinction”,
which perfect accuracy is "verified by Swiss Government Scientists"
~~
Its distinguished Rectangle Case is hinged & performed in 9K Rose Gold,
it’s comfortable & well-proportioned, measuring 20mm x 41mm,
it’s “wrist-hugging” & “Curvex” - curved to fit the wrist
Caseback tells us a lot about the fascinating history of original ownership,
as it’s engraved with:
“Presented to Bro. J. H. Till in appreciation of services as Secretary –
1929 – 1939 by Cobden Lodge # 381” –
(Cobden Lodge used to be a Masonic lodge in Melbourne, Australia)
Caseback is hallmarked with an iconic Rolex crown,
It’s stamped, signed & bearing a number on inside.
Bronze & champagne coloured Dial is in beautiful original condition,
featuring clear black hand-painted Arabic numerals,
original hands & relatively large sub-dial for centre seconds
(ideal instrument used by doctors to measure patients’ pulse,
hence the timepiece is referred as “doctor’s watch...

Bugatti By Mido 1930 Art Deco Radiator Shape Enamel Wrist Watch 14Kt Yellow Gold
Located in Miami, FL
Radiator wrist watch designed by Bugatti.
An extremely rare and unusual deco wristwatch, created in Switzerland by Mido for the Bugatti company. Made during the art deco period in the shape of a automobile radiator grill, back in the 1930. Crafted in solid yellow gold of 14 karats with the logo of Bugatti which is embellished with applications of red white and black enamel and the letters EB, for Ettore Bugatti. Fitted with a hinged snap lid.
History
Between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s, Mido produced less than a hundred watches for the very famous Bugatti automobile brand. The notable feature of these pieces was their case shaped like the iconic radiator grille on the famous car. They were specially ordered by Mr. Ettore Bugatti to the Mido manufacture, often offered to his best pilots, mechanics and to his family. Bolstered by this success, Mido developed its famous watches for motorists in 1925 and 1926. The brand filed a patent for its watch cases and for some dials inspired by the finest vehicles of the era. These included pocket and pendant watches, all of which mirrored the radiators from a large number of car manufacturers, including: Alfa Romeo, Benz, Bugatti (or EB, for Ettore Bugatti), Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroën, De Dion-Bouton, Delage, Farman, Fiat, Ford, Hispano-Suiza, Lancia, Lincoln, Opel, Peugeot, Pic-Pic, Rolls-Royce and Talbot.

Mido records confirm that the first of the four series of Bugatti watches...

This watch was presented in 1932 to the winner of an amateur Skeet Shooting Contest in 1932 in Dayton Ohio. It is in excellent original condition and is still fitted with an original period strap and buckle, however the strap is too fragile to wear all the time so we put a new lizard strap on it and the original buckle.

This is a fantastic and rare watch. It is the largest Longines wrist chronograph produced at the time. The case has a coin edge, hinged back and bezel and a beautiful cuvette stating its provenance. The movement is in excellent condition and the steel work has Anglage finishing. This rare watch is running fine and you can wear it and use it to count off the minutes left on your parking meter.
The Company continued to grow and prosper throughout the 19th century. During the American Civil War, they supplied watches to the military, and of course they grew because of this association.
In 1885, they moved their headquarters to Waltham, Massachusetts, and changed their name to the American Waltham Watch Company.
Waltham was a major exhibitor at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The company's exhibit at the exposition was housed in a large pavilion that was designed to resemble a factory. The pavilion was filled with watches of all shapes and sizes, as well as machinery used in the manufacturing process. The exhibit was a major success, and it helped to raise the profile of Waltham watches around the world.
Amongst the visitors at the exhibition was a contingent from Switzerland. When they realized what Waltham was doing, they quickly understood that their methods were outdated and soon enough they would be a country unable to compete. They also went to the Waltham factory for a visit after the exhibition. It is said that they purchased a few of Waltham’s higher grade movements. The director of the factory said he would have them “adjusted” before they left, but they said it was not necessary. When they arrived back in Switzerland, they checked them and were shocked at the level of quality and accuracy. This prompted them to buy some of the equipment that Waltham was using so they could start building better watches that were less expensive and more accurate.
Some of that machinery ended up in the small town of Schaffhausen and became The International Watch Company. They are still in business today making exceptional watches.
