Guaranteed to be as described and satisfaction guaranteed, this is a very cool c. 1912 Vacheron & Constantine small pocket watch 17 jewel movement which has been cased in a new custom hand made 35mm silicon bronze wrist watch case. This watch case is hand made and custom made for this movement. We have not been obsessed over it to remove every casting pit and polish it to a perfect shine, we intend for our bronze cases to patina and have a lived in “survivor” look.Men made the switch from pocket watches to wrist watches after the first World War because they found it to be problematic to be fumbling around in their pockets to check the time with gloves on, in a trench and taking fire. Many pocket watches were converted to wrist watches in the trenches by simply soldering wire lugs on to attach them to the wrist with a strap. With it’s fired glass fired enamel dial and blued steel hands this watch calls back to that time and reminds you of that every time you check your wrist. Turning the watch over an extra large observation window has been cut into the case back to observe the century plus old movement. This watch is ULTRA COOL. This watch will come with our sales receipt and our Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The idea of putting pocket watch movements from the heyday of mechanical watchmaking into modern cases is not new. We feel that the wrong movements have been used in the past however. The conversions that watchmakers have been making have been taking the beautiful and highly accurate Railroad grade watches and casing them in custom wrist watch style cases. These are 16 or 18 size movements resulting in a ridiculously large 48mm to 56mm watches. Many require you to remove the bezel ring to get to the time setting lever. We decided that we wanted a modest sized 36mm watch (about the size of the traditional Rolex Datejust) that can be wound and set like a traditional wrist watch and be water resistant. This movement turned out to be a perfect donor to the cause. The result is a 35 mm in diameter (excluding the winding crown), 41mm tall (from lug tip) and 9.7mm thick watch which we think is perfectly sized. With it’s oversized canteen style crown it is big enough to be impressive on the wrist, but small enough not to make you look like a kid wearing dad’s watch. To build these beautiful watch cases we use the lost wax casting method. This case, crown, and buckle were cast out of silicon bronze. The wax mold was designed to fit the pocket watch movement and work with the pocket watch style stem and winding crown arrangement. Some casting and filing marks were left in the case and we intend that the owner will not polish the watch to a high shine, but rather allow it to patina with use and acquire an evolving lived in vintage “survivor” look which is so popular now, though it could obviously be polished if you like. See our other listings for an arguably more beautiful Elgin 0s 1902 movement in a similar case for 1/3 the price. This has been worn for about a month and is showing beautiful patina. A matching bronze buckle was also cast for the band. We used a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. We also cut the full movement sized observation window in the case back and installed a sapphire crystal there also. We sourced this movement without it’s case. The solid gold case had previously been scrapped for it’s gold content. (We do not cannibalize complete pocket watches to build these watches). The result is a literal piece of history that is beautiful and functional for a fraction of the price of the watches that the modern fine watch brands are replicating with their “homage” pieces and selling for tens of thousands of dollars. I challenge you to find a new watch with an enamel dial that sells for less than several thousand dollars. We did not restore this movement when we serviced it. We simply gave it a thorough servicing and left it with it’s hard earned patina and a couple of mismatched screws. It has great patina which suits the watch well. I guarantee you that you will be the only guy in any room with a steam punk V&C on your wrist. The pictures have been taken from every angle and represent the watch well, in fact they are 3x magnified. The movement was thoroughly serviced on 12/08/2021 Shown here on a 6.75 inch wrist. The band is a brand new Dassari brand 20mm quality tan leather strap. We would be happy to swap it for a dark chocolate strap free of charge upon request. The original enamel glass fired dial has two chips under the bezel at 3:00 and 6:00 which have been stabilized and can’t be seen under the bezel. It also has some hairlines which we think just add character. It has never been refinished, painted or molested. Matching bronze buckle This is a beautiful example of this model.
