AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Family-owned pocket watch very well preserved and showing only minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. It has seen little use and was last professionally serviced in 2025. A beautiful and well-maintained example, ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

Nickel case engraved, lepine case, probably Swiss.
The case is more characteristic of late Art Deco / the transition into the post-war period than of the Art Deco style of the 1920s.
The combination of case + dial is particularly coherent:
geometric case + large Arabic numerals + small seconds + linear guilloché + slender hands.
This gives the watch the aesthetic of a 1930s–1940s precision/chronometer watch, even though the exact date of the case may be later than that of the movement.

The hinges are in perfect condition.

Movement produced by Elida, guilloché bridge surfaces, crown at 12 o'clock.

´Guilloché cream color dial, Arabic numerals, square spade hands, seconds at 6 o'clock.
Nice fine, straight-line diagonal guilloché pattern.
The dial has a noticeable mechanical scratch extending from approximately 3 to 5 o’clock.
