MF - χωρίς τιμή ασφαλείας - Άνδρες - 1900-1949

Είμαστε βαθιά τιμημένοι που presenting a truly breathtaking and remarkably well-preserved masterpiece of mid-century Swiss horology. This oversized gentleman's dress watch, bearing the rare M.F. artisan corporate logo, represents the golden post-war renaissance of Swiss executive design. It is a time capsule that bridges avant-garde casing art with top-tier vintage movement aesthetics.

The Masterpiece of "Fancy Teardrop" Lugs & Jumbo Case:
The absolute highlight of this timepiece is its majestic, oversized 37 mm case (46 mm lug-to-lug), which was an incredibly rare and prestigious "Jumbo" size for the late 1940s and early 1950s. The case is defined by its spectacular, highly artistic "teardrop / fancy" stylized lugs. These organically curved, sculptural lugs were traditionally reserved only for high-end luxury Swiss chronometers of the era. They amplify the watch’s visual presence on the wrist, delivering an imposing yet profoundly elegant character that modern dress watches can rarely replicate.

The Rarity of the M.F. Geneva/La Chaux-de-Fonds Heritage:
The distinguished circular M.F. emblem on the dial signifies a selective Swiss production from the renowned watchmaking cradle of La Chaux-de-Fonds. These independent houses focused on creating low-volume, high-quality mechanical watches for the discerning European elite. Finding an example in this oversized format, preserved in such authentic condition, is a rare privilege for serious collectors.

A Pristine 18 Rubis Mechanical Heart:
Upon opening the stainless steel caseback, the watch reveals a visually beautiful Swiss-made manual-wound mechanical movement. Operating on an uncommon 18 Rubis (18 Jewels) layout—an upgrade from the standard 15 or 17 jewels of the era—the movement is in an extraordinarily well-preserved mechanical state, completely free of any oxidation. It winds with incredible smoothness and responds instantly, operating with the crisp precision of a new timepiece.

The Executive Minimalist Dial:
The clean, warm cream-ivory dial layout is an exercise in mid-century minimalism. It features sharp, slender stylized numerals, a detailed outer technical railway track scale, and ultra-slim baton hands. The composition is masterfully crowned by a vibrant, striking red central sweep seconds hand, adding a dash of sporty sophistication to an otherwise formal executive look.

Although the watches are fully functional and keep accurate time at the moment of the auction, their long-term accuracy, power reserve, and water resistance cannot be guaranteed due to wear on parts caused by age, historical lubricants, changes in temperature and pressure, shocks, and changes in position during transport or wearing.
