About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Buren Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco METAL / MATERIAL: 14Kt Gold Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: 42mm Length X 23mm Diameter MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels / Caliber DIAL / HANDS: Silvered with Gilt Numerals ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 14mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This unique watch Buren is done with an unusual articulated design. These watches were called "Drivers Watches" because they sit on the side of the wrist. This one is in excellent condition and is quite rare. Buren was a private label house started in Switzerland around 1898, by Fritz Suter & Cie, near Bern, the capital. They produced high grade pocket and wrist watches. They are still in business today which means they must have done something right. You will likely never see another Drivers Watch like this, as it is the only we have ever seen by Buren.
