Vintage Mady Swiss square mechanical watch, gold dial, for restoration, old

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Old mechanical square-shaped watch, signed "MADY" on the dial, with "SWISS" indicated at the bottom, typical of mid-20th century Swiss watchmaking production. The dial has a light, patinated finish and a two-hand analog display (hours and minutes) in gold, matching the applied indices for the main hours (3, 6, 9, 12). The gold Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, as well as the gold dots for the other hours, give the watch an elegant and legible retro style.

The square case, with its slightly softened edges, reveals a notched side crown with a shiny metallic finish. The dial is surrounded by a plain chapter ring, without superfluous decoration, highlighting the typical aesthetic of vintage Swiss wristwatches. The dial surface shows marked signs of wear, stains, and a uniform patina, testifying to the age and use of the piece.

The object is photographed from the front, with a close-up view highlighting the texture of the dial, the slightly oxidized appearance of the hands, and the details of the case. No strap or attachment is visible in the photo; the watch is likely offered for parts, restoration, or a watchmaking project. The edges of the case reveal signs of oxidation and aging, reinforcing the authentic character of this antique watch.

The overall style evokes Swiss watch productions from the 1940s-1950s, with a clean and functional design, typical of the post-war period. The "SWISS" inscription confirms its Swiss origin, a guarantee of quality in the watchmaking field. The stripped-down dial, square shape, and gold indices are sought after by vintage watch enthusiasts, for spare parts, or restoration projects.
