## Price

## Description

This charming 1950s Election manual wind wristwatch is a wonderful example of traditional Swiss watchmaking, produced by the historic Election Watch Company, a respected Swiss manufacturer with roots dating back to the 19th century.The classic 34mm stainless steel case houses a traditional 17-jewel Swiss manual wind movement, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship associated with vintage mechanical timepieces. The watch is fitted with a premium Hirsch genuine lizard leather strap, adding a sophisticated finishing touch to its timeless design.The movement has been fully serviced and is supplied with a two-year guarantee, offering reassurance alongside its vintage appeal. An especially appealing detail is the inclusion of its original Election hang tag, a lovely surviving accessory that adds to the watch's collector interest.Election was once a respected name in Swiss watchmaking, but like many traditional manufacturers, the company struggled during the quartz crisis and eventually ceased trading in the 1980s. Today, its surviving mechanical watches offer an interesting connection to Switzerland's rich horological heritage.With decades of expertise and a trusted reputation, James Ross Jewellers proudly presents an exceptional collection of luxury and vintage watches.This watch has been checked against technical records to guarantee authenticity and a clean history.
