Product code: Vintage Ernest outlet Borel Kaleidoscope Cocktail Watch
This was my mother's watch…Finally selling my jewelry and downsizing. About this watch: not original band. YES IT KEEPS TIME! The face outlet does have a small thin crack (in photo) This is a remarkable 17 Jewel Swiss watch with a patent mark on the dial as well as the name "Borel” and Cocktail. It was made sometime in the mid 1960s. The watch is a classic Ernest Borel design, with a gold-plated case and uniquely shaped lugs, neat jewelled hand-wind movement visible from the back, which is transparent from edge to edge, and a front face that is dominated by of a central disc structure which, when the watch is in operation, creates a lovely moving "kaleidoscope" pattern. There are no hands, the main body of these being hidden behind the patterned center. The time is read around the edge of the dial by means of bright red markers.” Thank you!!.
