Info: |
I don't know anything about this watch, but when I saw it with another dealer the other day I knew I had to buy it because the dial was so unusual and beautiful and the condition of the dial and particularly the case was fabulous, plus it came with the original box, but sadly no papers. The condition is amazing and features an automatic “day/night” 24-hour dial. The dial is split into two colours: white for the daytime hours, and grey for the nighttime hours, the minute hand rotates once an hour and the hour hand rotates once in 24 hours - it takes some getting used to but it's really worth buying as you'll possibly never see another one again! Juvenia was founded in 1860 by Jacques Didisheim-Goldschmidt in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. In 1914, Juvenia manufactured, at the time, the smallest movement constructed on a single level. Juvenia is known for its extraordinary, avant-garde flying saucer and Bauhaus case designs, unusual time indications and architectural inspiration. (Thanks Wikipedia!) |
