About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Racine Watch Company / Bijou STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Bracelet Watch METAL / MATERIAL: Silver with Inlaid Niello CIRCA / YEAR: Mid Teens DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Diameter 27mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Original with Cartouche Numerals / Original Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Original Silver and Niello Spring Link Bracelet / Length 6 1/2 Inches or 16cm WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This charming ladies watch is in excellent original condition and is still fitted with its original bracelet as well. We seldom see these truly vintage watches with original spring loaded link bracelets that still function well. This watch was produced by Racine, a small but prestigious house based in Le Locle, however the Racine's were involved in many different watch factories. They have a long history going back to the 1700's. The watch and bracelet are inlaid with Niello, which is an ancient technique similar to enameling. However, instead of "melted" glass, it is "melted" metal, in this case done as a "Greek Key" motif. The watch keeps dependable time and you can wear and count on it to get you there on time.
