this is working perfectly after nearly 100 years, is a testament to Swiss watch movements of the day.

Vintage watches
Classic Ladies LeCoultre
The unique button markers are an integral part of the case and are situated surround the small original acrylic crystal covered dial.
Longines vintage
with it’s amazing fancy lugs is one of my favourites
IWC Da Vinci SL
Specifically adjusted for IWC to an accuracy of 0/+7 seconds per day.
Copper Bulova vintage
This watch is by no means modern, but the movement is working as good as it was when made. It’s mechanical, so never needs a battery, it’s easy to reset the time for Summer time and so on, the date change is also easy at the half crown position for some of the months – in short it is very easy to live with.
Digital delights
Many are Japan made and although there are many, many lookalike digitals around from China, none of them have the pedigree of these or indeed the quality of the Japanese modules and displays, which in their day, were truly science fiction, and particularly in the actual design.
Vintage Vulcain
Vulcain of course is a very old established Watch Company formed back in 1858 and still producing high quality watches today. Famous amongst other things for producing the 1st practical mechanical Alarm watch, the Cricket”
Square Blancpain?
The movement which is in superb condition is signed Blancpain 17 jewel unadjusted with the Rayville SA import mark clearly shown (KXO). I’m not sure if Blancpain even made their own movements in this period and the movement looks very similar to an Anton Schild
Conquest quartz
So an excellent Auction buy, and whilst it may be for a Quartz everyday watch, it is a high quality one and great value. Longines watches are still and always have been undervalued in my opinion, which fortunately makes them a good choice when looking for a pre-owned watch
Rare Ladies Movado Day Date Calendar
manual wind Movado signed movement and a very neat layout dial with a three letter Day window @12, a red tipped Date Pointer with calendar perimeter index, with direct pin side calendar adjusters in addition to the main crown.
