Vintage UTI pocket watch, 24-hour dial, metal case, presentation box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Antique pocket watch signed UTI, presented in its original case, with a dial featuring large Arabic numerals, a red 24-hour scale, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock.

Description

This pocket watch features a silver-toned metal case with a soberly molded bezel, an upper bail, and a fluted crown. The dial bears the UTI brand, with a legible and balanced composition: large black Arabic numerals, a peripheral minute track, red 24-hour indications, and a small seconds counter at the bottom.

The blued hands provide an elegant contrast on the light dial, in a functional and refined watchmaking spirit. The set comes with an antique case with a light satin interior, which enhances the presentation of the object.

Context

The pocket watch remains one of the emblematic objects of antique personal watchmaking, before the widespread adoption of the wristwatch. The dial with Arabic numerals, the 24-hour scale, and the small seconds are part of the vocabulary of utilitarian pocket watches from the early 20th century, designed for clear and immediate reading.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Watch not tested. The dial, case, and box show a patina of use, with signs of age, small marks, oxidation, and wear consistent with its age. The case also shows dirt and marks on the inner satin lining.
