Lot Essay
The unusual fan-form case design of the present watch is certainly the most notable feature of this lot at first glance. However, on closer inspection, when you turn the crown to set the time you will notice that the hour jumps from one to the next with great precision. The case back has been sculpted to look like the panels of a fan which adds to its allure and surprisingly the shape of the watch fits perfectly and comfortably in the hand. An absolutely wonderful addition to any watch collection, this watch is furthermore offered in excellent overall condition. Movement signed Record Watch Co.
