Have you ever received a watch as a gift, worn it once or twice, then put it away in a drawer? It seems like this watch was one of those. I received it in its original box, with what (I think) is the original band, and in nearly perfect condition. In fact, it was so clean that I thought it was probably much more recent than it is. The first thing that clued me into its true age was when I opened the case and saw the movement design, with its above-the-bridge indirect drive center second hand and separate excape wheel bridge. Unfortunately, while it’s almost certainly an ebauche of some sort, I have not been able to definitively identify the movement (if you know, please contact me!).
*Please note that visible serial numbers on the case and movement have been partially or fully hidden with AI masking.
