AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mechanical watch movement signed Marti, visible without case or strap. The round dial features a silver finish with applied gold raised hour markers, as well as a prominent applied gold metallic "12" numeral. The visible baton-style hands are also gold, with a marked patina and traces of oxidation, highlighting the age of the piece. The dial bears the inscription "MARTI" under the triangular logo, as well as the mention "INCABLOC" in the lower part, characteristic of watches with an anti-shock system.

This movement shows a notched crown on the right side, typical of manual winding watches. The dial shows pronounced wear, with numerous marks, scratches, and traces of oxidation across the entire visible surface. There is no protective glass on this part, which directly exposes the hands and dial to the external elements.

The dial's style, the appearance of the markers, and the logo suggest manufacturing dating from the 1960s to 1970s, a period when this type of design and typography was common in European mechanical watchmaking. The movement is presented without a back or visible attachment, as illustrated in the photo, indicating that it is sold for restoration or for spare parts.

The silver dial finish contrasts with the gold elements, giving it a sober yet elegant appearance, typical of classic watches of this era. The inscriptions and logo are still legible despite the wear, allowing the brand and model of the movement to be authenticated.

The photographed piece is highlighted by grazing light, emphasizing the relief and flaws of the dial. No other elements or accessories are visible in the photo; the sale concerns only the movement as it appears.

Condition

Used item, sold as is, for restoration. Pronounced wear, scratches, visible oxidation on the dial and hands. Absence of glass, case, and strap. Ideal for watch restoration or parts recovery.

Did you know? The Incabloc system, mentioned on this dial, was invented in 1934 by the Swiss company Portescap. It is an anti-shock device used in mechanical watch movements to protect the balance staff, a major innovation that significantly improved the resistance of watches to everyday shocks.
