EDMOND Art Deco guilloché pocket watch, cal. 478, 1930s

— Geometry, in the Art Deco manner —

The dial carries a geometric pattern cut in fine guilloché: Art Deco design, and the aesthetic of the 1930s. It changes with the angle of the light and quietly rewards whoever is holding it.

The EDMOND signature against blued steel hands is the dignity of an older period, made concrete.

— A century on —

A 19-ligne hand-wound movement with fifteen rubies in the bearings. The balance still swings strongly, and the craft and design thinking of the time carry straight through to the present.

— A solid brightness —

The case is stainless steel, an advanced material at the time. The beautiful perlage applied inside the case back is the proof of work that refused to compromise where nobody would look.

The weight in the hand and the solidity of the finish sit perfectly well in modern use.

— Worth carrying forward —

In an age accelerating towards efficiency, this watch holds on to a sense most of us have half forgotten.
