Vintage Buler Swiss mechanical watch, silver dial 17 jewels, asymmetrical shape

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Antique mechanical watch from the brand Buler, identifiable by its logo and the inscription "Buler" clearly visible on the dial. This Swiss model stands out with an unusual and striking asymmetrical case shape, reminiscent of some watch designs from the 60s-70s, though this cannot be stated with certainty. The dial has a matte silver finish, with twelve applied gold hour markers, rectangular in shape and clearly visible. The hands, also gold, display a simple and clean style, typical of vintage mechanical watches. The fluted crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is gold-colored and easy to manipulate.

The mention "17 JEWELS" is legible on the dial, indicating the presence of 17 rubies in the movement, characteristic of quality mechanical watches. The inscription "SWISS MADE" is also found at the bottom of the dial, attesting to its Swiss manufacturing. The case appears to be made of silver-finished metal, but without explicit indication of the material, it is described according to its visual appearance. Two screws are visible on the front face, reinforcing the technical and utilitarian character of the model.

This watch is photographed resting in a wooden case, on a light cushion, which highlights its retro appeal and metallic reflections. The dial's patina and visible traces of oxidation or aging around the hour markers, on the hands and the case, confirm the piece's age and give it an authentic charm specific to vintage watches. No strap is visible in the photo; only the case and dial are presented.

The overall style evokes vintage Swiss wristwatches, with an aesthetic between modernism and functionality. All visible inscriptions ("Buler", "17 Jewels", "Swiss Made") are faithfully transcribed.

The model presented is second-hand and sold as is, with visible signs of wear (scratches, patina, traces of oxidation on the front face and crown). No functional test was performed for the photo.

Did you know? The Swiss brand Buler was founded in the 1940s in Moutier and distinguished itself with its innovatively designed watches, often recognizable by their original shapes and robustness. 17-jewel movements were, in the 60s-70s, a guarantee of reliability for general public mechanical watches.
