Story & Heritage Montdor belongs to the world of lesser-known vintage Swiss watch brands that contributed to the rich diversity of European mechanical watchmaking during the mid-20th century. These manufacturers produced practical and elegant wristwatches, combining traditional movements with designs that reflected the tastes and technical developments of their time. During the 1940s, wristwatches increasingly combined everyday functionality with improved mechanical reliability. Shock-protection systems such as Incabloc represented an important development, helping protect delicate balance components against accidental impacts. This Montdor reflects the design language of that era, with its prominent Arabic numerals, detailed minute track and traditional round case. Its naturally aged silver dial adds a distinctive visual character, making each surviving example unique. A charming vintage timepiece for collectors of early Swiss mechanical watches, historical dial designs and lesser-known watchmaking brands. Internal Reference Number – ITM 1093
