About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Mimo for Del-Mar STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco Tank Style METAL / MATERIAL: Chromium CIRCA / YEAR: 1930's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 41mm x Width 22mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber Mimo DIAL / HANDS: Original Silvered with Luminous Arabic Numerals / Blued Steel Luminous Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is a truly unique watch from the 1930's. It is one of the earliest examples we have ever seen with a date window. Calendar DELMAR was a private label house and the watch was produced for them by Mimo. Mimo was founded by Otto Graef around 1889, MIMO is an acronym for Manufacture Internationale de Montres en Or. In 1928 Otto Graef bought the Girard Perregaux Watch Company which is now renowned worldwide. In the 1930's and 40's Mimo was marketed in Europe and Perregaux was marketed in America. Eventually though the company decided to develop the Perregaux brand universally. Mimo was eventually phased out but today remains legendary for its innovations and historical significance.
