ON HOLD TD Art Deco Watch in Corn Yellow Bakelite Clamper with Black Face by De Vecci

This outstanding Art Deco chunky Bakelite clamper watch is a rare and highly collectible piece, crafted in the desirable rich corn cob yellow Bakelite. Featuring a De Vecci Swiss-made analog wind-up movement with 17 jewels, this watch exudes the elegance and craftsmanship of the Art Deco era. In excellent condition, it retains a soft age patina that enhances its vintage charm. The spring hinge clamper is in perfect working order, with all pins intact, tight, and secure. The gold-tone winder remains brilliant, and the watch has been recently serviced and adjusted for timing. While not a chronometer, it keeps reasonable time for its age, as watches like this were designed primarily for presentation rather than precision. These watches are becoming increasingly difficult to find and are highly sought after by collectors, with values rising rapidly. Some pieces are even traded by weight, reflecting their rarity and desirability. Dimensions: The watch measures 3.3cm wide at the front (excluding the winder), tapering to 2.7cm at the rear. The oval wrist size when closed is 5.9cm x 4.5cm, with the clamper opening to 4.6cm maximum for wrist access. The Bakelite thickness ranges from 1.2cm at the front (including the face) to 0.6cm at the rear hinge inset. This European-made Bakelite watch is a stunning example of Art Deco style, perfect for collectors or enthusiasts of vintage timepieces and Bakelite jewellery. A truly timeless treasure!
