An electronic pocket watch!  This Daytronic from Le Cheminant is not something you will see everyday.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

There is no way of accurately dating this watch to the best of our knowledge to a single year.  However the movement was introduced in 1970 so it cannot be older than this.

CONDITION

An electronic pocket watch is niche, but when we haven’t seen one before we try and buy it as we never know if we will see another!  This Le Cheminant uses the ESA 9154 movement, which was a direct development of the 9150.  The 9150 was the first electronically controlled balance wheel movement, and collectively these are known as the Dynotron movements.  You can see that Le Cheminant twisted the movement name a bit to get the Daytronic, which also references the calendar function.  That calendar has a semi quick set date, and everything is working correctly.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The case is what is called a full hunter, so you press the button set within the crown to pop the case open.  The case may only be gold plated but it is in good condition all over, and obviously makes this far cheaper than a gold pocket watch.

This watch will be supplied with our basic presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
