This elegant timepiece is a magnificent piece of Swiss mechanical tradition, representing the post-war era when automatic movements became accessible and refined. The La Bonher Automatic features a stunning deep blue sunburst dial framed by a polished gold-plated bezel and Roman numeral markers at 6 and 12 o'clock, which creates a classic- high-contrast look. The watch's core selling point is the mechanical heart- a reliable 25-Jewel Automatic Movement (likely a high-grade ETA or AS ébauche common in Swiss watches of the 1950s). The higher jewel count was a major marketing point in its day, signifying reduced friction and enhanced longevity. The dial is protected by a domed crystal, which adds a wonderful vintage depth, and the gold-plated case with elegant downturned lugs completes the refined profile. This is a wonderfully unique and sophisticated piece for the collector seeking mechanical quality and beautiful mid-century design outside of the major houses.
