EDEN - Semi Skeleton Dial - Senza prezzo di riserva - Uomo - 1950-1959

Eden Antimagnetic – Semi Skeleton Dial – Swiss Mechanical – Vintage Swiss Made Watch A Fascinating Mid-Century Swiss Timepiece Featuring a Semi-Exposed Movement, Architectural Dial Design, and Distinctive Vintage Character Offered for auction is a highly interesting vintage Eden Antimagnetic, a Swiss-made mechanical watch that stands apart thanks to its unusual semi-skeleton construction and beautifully executed dial. Combining traditional Swiss craftsmanship with an innovative design rarely encountered today, this watch offers collectors a glimpse into the creativity of mid-century horology. Technical Details Brand: Eden Model: Antimagnetic Small Second Movement: Swiss mechanical movement, 15 jewels Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds Case Material: Chromed case Case Diameter: 35 mm Crystal: Acrylic crystal front and acrylic exhibition back Dial: Silver multi-level dial featuring a radial sunburst center, applied Arabic numerals, faceted markers, recessed small seconds display, and visible movement elements integrated into the dial design Water Resistance: Untested for water resistance Strap: Generic leather strap suitable for wrists up to approximately 21 cm Condition: Grade B – visible signs of wear consistent with age and careful vintage use Box/Papers: Generic box included This Eden immediately captures attention through its highly unusual dial architecture. The central section displays a striking guilloché-style radial pattern radiating outward from the hands, while the recessed small seconds register at 6 o’clock creates depth and visual balance. One of the most fascinating features is the semi-skeleton construction. Portions of the movement are visible through the dial, offering a direct view into the mechanical heart of the watch. The acrylic exhibition back further enhances this experience, allowing appreciation of the movement from both sides—an uncommon feature for a watch of this era. The combination of silver tones, golden hands, faceted hour markers, and geometric Arabic numerals gives the watch a distinctly mid-century aesthetic while maintaining excellent legibility and character. Story & Heritage During the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, numerous independent manufacturers competed not only on precision but also on creativity. Brands such as Eden produced watches that often experimented with dial construction, movement presentation, and decorative finishing in ways that larger manufacturers rarely attempted. The Antimagnetic designation reflects an important technological trend of the period. As modern electrical devices became increasingly common during the mid-20th century, watchmakers sought methods to improve resistance to magnetic fields that could affect timekeeping accuracy. Watches bearing the "Antimagnetic" designation represented advanced engineering for their time. What makes this particular Eden especially attractive today is its unusual semi-skeleton presentation. Long before open-worked luxury watches became fashionable, this piece offered enthusiasts the opportunity to observe the beauty of a mechanical movement in operation. Combined with its textured dial, exhibition back, and distinctive small seconds display, it represents an era when even lesser-known Swiss manufacturers were capable of producing highly original and technically interesting watches. Today, examples such as this appeal to collectors seeking something beyond mainstream vintage brands—a watch that combines authentic Swiss mechanical craftsmanship, uncommon design features, and genuine historical charm. A rare and captivating vintage Swiss timepiece that offers both mechanical interest and distinctive visual appeal. The watch will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
