1910s WWI Solid Silver Wristwatch with Porcelaine Dial

Dear Watch Collectors,

Here is a rare piece of 1910s WWI Solid Silver Wristwatch with Porcelaine Dial.


Typical 1910s wristwatch with the rose crown of a pocket watch, the lugs are wire lugs during those era. The whole case is solid silver and the porcelaine is in good condition wth no hairline crack (rare). Usually, it is common to get hairline cracks on these porcelaine dial. The sweeping second hand is at six.

The behind of the case is in good condition and inside was a rare find. The owner of the watch with photographs of his relatives I guess. This watch is well kept after nearly 100 years old. The watch strap is original as well, from the first day that I bought it

Here is a side picture of the watch with a better view of the pocket watch rose crown.
Finally, it is hard to find a solid silver watch in the current market new model. Even if you can find a new branded silver watch, you still cannot get the hallmark of the case. The hallmark of the silver case are indicators of the silver case maker and the year of the case which was made.
I hope you learn something today.
