 A very well-preserved Swiss vintage watch, the Rotary pocket watch is a unique addition to our collection. It's one of the very few Swiss pocket watches we have that have been so carefully cared for.  

The watch has that a few signs of the passage of time, which only make it look more stunning, and beautifully showcase its authenticity. The black-silvery aspect of the watch gives it a unique look and feel, and you can truly see its timeless elegance in every detail.

Rotary is one of the top quality Swiss watch brands. The glass of the watch will be replaced once the item is purchased. 

Rotary Vintage Watches 

Rotary Watches Ltd was established at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, by Moise Dreyfuss in 1895. By the 1920s family members, Georges and Sylvain Dreyfuss began importing Rotary watches to Britain, which was to become the company's most successful market. Since 2014, it has been owned by Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited (an investment holding company formerly known as China Haidian Holdings until 2014).

In 1940 Rotary became the official watch supplier for the British Army. Coinciding as this did with the Second World War and the drafting of huge numbers into the army, the move put a Rotary watch in almost every household in Britain, leaving a lasting impression of the brand in the UK.


About mechanical watches

mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function electronically, with the help of a small battery.

A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring which must be hand-wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power balance, a weighted wheel that oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate.
