REVUE - Open-face gilt sunburst enamel pendant - 1970-1979
Introduction
A charming Swiss-made pendant pocket watch by Revue, featuring an open-face dial with a distinctive sunburst chapter ring of alternating black enamel segments and gilt Roman numerals, a richly engraved gilt centre cartouche signed 'REVUE', and blued-steel Breguet-style hands. The movement is a hand-wound Swiss lever calibre with 11 jewels. The case is gold-toned base metal ('METAL DORE') with an ornate rope-twist and bead-set bezel, a domed convex crystal, and a decorative hinged bow for wear as a pendant or fob.
Historical / Era context
Revue is a Swiss watch brand with roots in the Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds tradition; they produced a wide range of decorative pendant watches, particularly in the mid-to-late 20th century, combining vintage-styled cases with economical but reliable Swiss lever movements. The 'METAL DORE' stamping on the caseback identifies the case as a gold-toned base-metal construction, typical of affordable Swiss souvenir and gift-market watches of this era. The engraved floral caseback and sunburst dial make this an appealing decorative piece as much as a functional timepiece.
Condition
The watch is running and keeping good time. The watch was checked lying flat (dial up) after a full wind. This is a spot check at the time of listing; as a vintage mechanical watch the rate in actual wear varies with position and winding state, and long-term accuracy is not guaranteed. As a vintage timepiece it may benefit from a service.
Case: The case body retains good overall form. The bezel rim and bow show light surface wear consistent with age. The caseback exterior has scattered fine scratches on the engraved floral panel. No significant denting or deformation is visible.
Dial: The dial is legible and attractive. The gilt centre cartouche and engraved scrollwork are crisp. The black enamel chapter segments are intact with no visible chipping. No significant staining or damage is noted.
Crystal: The domed convex crystal is present and clear, with only minor surface micro-scratches consistent with age. No cracks or deep gouges are visible.
Movement: The watch is running. With the caseback opened, the movement is visible: it is signed 'REVUE / 11 JEWELS / SWISS' and carries the number 78 on the plate. The finish is clean with no visible corrosion or broken parts, and the balance is active.
Accessories: No box, papers, or chain/cord are included. The watch is offered as shown.
Please review all photographs carefully for the detailed condition.
