We present this timepiece in true “barn find” condition, meaning it has undergone only minimal handling in our workshop and remains in its authentic, as-found state.

The case retains its original, decades-old patina and has not been cleaned, polished, or repaired in any way. The only components disassembled were the strap bars. The original strap was replaced with a high-quality genuine leather strap made by Kaiser in Vienna, Austria, and fitted with a stainless steel buckle.

The case is in honest, used condition and shows marks of use such as scratches. There is no serious structural damage to the case or caseback, and the watch is fitted with its original crystal.

The dial and hands display patina and age (please refer to photos). The overall aging of the watch is even and consistent throughout.

The movement remains in its original, unrestored condition. There are marks and scratches visible on some components (please refer to photos). The plating on the bridges is well preserved; however, there are signs of previous servicing, visible around the setting screw and some screw heads. The movement currently shows no signs of fresh lubrication and is therefore described as unserviced.


Despite this, the movement runs, and both the time-setting and winding functions are in good working order.

The watch has not been fully overhauled in our workshop, so buying it without our additional inhouse service, may be a watch considered as a found in, unchecked condition, without a warranty.

The watch may be purchased as is, or with our in-house servicing upon request. To obtain a one- or two-year warranty, we recommend selecting our service option. Please contact us before or after reserving the watch to arrange details.
