Certina art deco style classic NOS piece - KF324B Vintage Dress Watch 1942 (Stainless Steel, Switzerland) – Rare Early Certina / 'Kurth Frères' Collector Piece in Unworn Condition

Model Overview

This rare early Certina dates to 1942, making it an especially important collector piece from the very first production years after the brand name changed from Grana to Certina. Certina’s story began in Grenchen, Switzerland, where brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth founded

Kurth Frères; the KF324B movement inside this watch directly reflects that heritage — KF standing for Kurth Frères.

The watch has a beautifully preserved white-silver dial with applied Arabic numerals, red outer minute track and a striking red central seconds hand. With its sharp steel case, elegant lugs and clean wartime-era design, it is a remarkable survivor from early 1940s Swiss watchmaking.

This example is offered in unworn condition, with only original parts, and comes freshly cleaned, serviced and checked, showing great performance.

Historical / Brand Context
Certina began its history in Grenchen, Switzerland, when Adolf and Alfred Kurth established Kurth Frères. Originally using the Grana name, the company moved into the Certina branding shortly before this watch was produced, making this 1942 example one of the earliest watches from the Certina era. The KF324B movement was designed under the Kurth Frères heritage, which gives the watch strong historical and collector significance.

Collector Appeal & Value Potential
This is not just a nice vintage Certina — it is an early-brand-history piece. A 1942 Certina with KF324B movement, original parts, clean dial, sharp steel case and unworn condition is exactly the type of watch collectors increasingly look for: authentic, scarce, historically meaningful and wearable.

Early Certina pieces remain undervalued compared with Omega, Longines or Universal Genève of the same era, but collector attention is clearly moving toward these strong Swiss heritage brands.

Condition Report

The watch is in unworn condition and has been cleaned, serviced and checked before sale. It shows great performance and keeps very good operation for its age.

Only original parts are present. Minor storage traces may exist due to the age of the watch, but the overall condition is exceptional for a 1942 piece.
