Vintage advertising watch Conseil Général Seine-Maritime to restore blue

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising watch features a round dial with a blue and green background, adorned with the logo of the Conseil Général de la Seine-Maritime. The dial presents a graphic composition marked by a white diagonal crossing it, conferring a strong visual identity typical of institutional creations from the late 20th century. The white numerals are arranged in a clear, legible circle, and the thin hands are visible in the photo. The mention "SEINE-MARITIME" is also visible below the logo, along with the inscription "CONSEIL GENERAL".

The watch case has a metallic silver appearance, with a thin bezel and an adjustment knob located on the right. The strap visible in the photo is black, with a grainy appearance and several adjustment perforations. The overall watch suggests a sober and functional design, intended for institutional promotion rather than luxury or high watchmaking.

The dial's graphics, the use of bold colors, and the choice of the logo suggest manufacturing likely between the 1980s and 1990s, a period when this type of visual communication was common in French advertising objects.

Condition

This watch is sold as used and for restoration. Some signs of wear are visible on the strap and case. The dial shows no major visible defects on the face, but the working condition of the mechanism is not guaranteed. The watch is offered as is, without prior restoration.

Did you know? Advertising watches were frequently used by French territorial communities at the end of the 20th century to mark events or promote their territory. The logo of the Conseil Général Seine-Maritime, visible here, has been modernized several times since the department's creation in 1790, reflecting the evolution of the graphic identity of French institutions.
