This is a lovely example of a solid 9ct gold vintage ladies trench style watch by the renowned Swiss maker Buren. The watch is fully hallmarked for import into London with date letter "O" which I believe is for 1929. It also has LA for import sponsor and case maker Louis Arnould and serial number 476898, please see pictures and do your own research to confirm.

The strap is the typical elasticated rolled gold type. It is marked R.Gold FT, Made in England, Excalibur 073 and Reg. 913739, it is in good condition and measures 13.5mm, approx. This could easily be changed if desired.

The watch is working well and keeps good time, I have worn it to test for several days and it has kept good time and it looks beautiful on th wrist, but please see my provisos for watches below.

The case is a lovely round shape with the rose gold case wrapping around the front, it has the 9ct gold hallmarks for London import inside the rear case and on the side of the main body

The 9ct case and strap weigh 21.8 grams in total and it has a diameter of 26mm without the winder, approx.

The face is ivory in colour on the band with the Roman numerals and has a gold center with black hands. The face shines nicely and catches the light well. The face has the retailers name Reid and this matches the period box.
The orginal box is brown outside with cream coloured silk and black velvet inside. I think the original box colour could have been blue looking at the inside edges. It has the retailers name that matches the face of the watch of Reid & Sons, Newcastle - on - Tyne. The company still operates today.

It measures 9.5cm x 4.8cm and 4.4cm tall, approx.

The mechanism is marked 15 Jewels, Buren and the wind cog is also marked Buren..

The case is in good overall condition with some small dents on the side of the case and surface scratching consummate with age and the same with the glass/plastic.

This is a quality watch from the 20's from a renowned maker that is in fashion today. It would make a great watch for special occasions, everyday use or would make a wonderful gift.
