Legant Swiss Vintage Mechanical Octagonal Retro Silver Dial Watch

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mechanical watch from the brand Legant, Swiss-made, featuring a typical retro design. The dial has a rare octagonal shape, silver finish, with applied gold hour markers and two visible gold hands (hours and minutes). The dial bears the inscription "LEGANT" below the 12 o'clock marker, as well as "SWISS MADE" at the bottom, confirming its origin. Two black lines cross the dial vertically and horizontally, structuring the design and making it easier to read the time. The winding crown, positioned on the right, is fluted and gold-colored.

The watch is distinguished by its faceted edges and multi-sided case, uncommon in classic watchmaking. The overall appearance of the dial shows a visible patina, testifying to its age and use, with some marks, micro-scratches, and slight traces of oxidation on the surface. The gold hour markers are raised, accentuating the readability and retro elegance of the piece.

The case finish gives a brilliant metallic appearance, with no precise material indication (no mention in the photo or keywords). The minute and hour hands are stick-type, with a gold center. No strap or attachment is visible on the presented side: only the watch head is exposed.

The general style evokes Swiss creations from the 1960s to 1970s, with a geometric aesthetic and a strong vintage look. The ensemble constitutes an original piece, ideal for lovers of retro Swiss watches, or for restoration and enhancement in a collection of old timepieces.

This Legant mechanical watch is a characteristic example of Swiss watchmaking expertise, combining graphic lines and refined finishes. The absence of a seconds hand and the presence of only two hands accentuate the sobriety of the model.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The watch shows visible signs of wear on the dial, as well as scratches and a slight patina. Functionality has not been tested; sold as seen in the photo.

Did you know? The term "Swiss Made" is protected by strict legislation in Switzerland, guaranteeing that at least 60% of the watch's value, as well as the final assembly, are carried out in Switzerland. Octagonal dial watches were popularized in the 60s-70s, a period of innovation in Swiss watch design.
