Premier Extra – “Time Capsule” New Old Stock (NOS) – Swiss Workshop Find - unworn

This is one of those rare, almost unreal watch stories that collectors chase for years and usually only hear about second-hand.

These Premier Extra watches come from a true New Old Stock, time-capsule discovery: pieces that were produced in Switzerland, fully completed, and then never released to retail. Instead of being sold, they were kept aside and stored away—locked in a Swiss watchmaker’s workshop, untouched, protected, and forgotten for decades.

I was fortunate enough to acquire two examples from this hidden stash: Ivory dial

Both were essentially “first-wear” watches—as if you’re the very first owner, opening a sealed chapter of Swiss watchmaking history. No polishing, no restoration, no “clean-up”: just original factory finish and honest, untouched surfaces.

Condition & authenticity highlights

Absolute flawless NOS condition – truly mint, untouched, like it just left the bench yesterday

Complete, fully working watch – assembled, ready to wear, and functioning as intended

Original dust cover included – a rare detail that underlines the workshop provenance
