Description

A pair of vintage Swiss-made ball-form (orb) pendant watches. The first watch features a dial marked for the West End Watch Co. with a cream-coloured face, black Roman numerals, and a gold-toned scalloped central border. The second watch bears a brand name that appears to read Ramino, with a white outer ring featuring Roman numerals and a black central disc decorated with gold-toned scrollwork. Both items are constructed with heavy spherical brass cases and feature thick magnifying mineral glass crystals on both sides. The manual-wind mechanical movements are visible through exhibition case backs. Each watch is fitted with a winding crown at the twelve o’clock position and a large suspension loop for use as a pendant or desk accessory. No boxes or paperwork are present.

Diameter: approximately 30mm each.


Condition report:

Both items exhibit surface oxidation and patina to the brass components consistent with age. Minor surface scratches are present on the glass crystals. The mechanical movements are untested and are sold as-is; they may require professional servicing to ensure accurate timekeeping.
