AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage mechanical watch movement, from the brand Velona, features a round white-finished dial, adorned with applied hour markers and raised gold Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock. The hands, also gold, are baton-style, providing clear readability and an elegant touch of classic inspiration. The notched gold crown is visible on the right, typical of manual-winding mechanical movements. The dial bears the inscriptions "VELONA" under a stylized crown, "17" and "INCABLOC" at the bottom, indicating a 17-jewel movement equipped with the Incabloc shock protection system, a guarantee of robustness for traditional watchmaking.

The dial shows visible signs of wear: scratches, marks, and patina on the white surface, testifying to prolonged use and a certain age. The gold hour markers and numerals show slight alteration of their brilliance, accentuating the piece's vintage authenticity. The contours of the movement reveal part of the mechanism, with no case or strap attached, making it an ideal component for restoration or a watchmaking project.

The typography and arrangement of elements on the dial, associated with the Incabloc mention and the general design, evoke a style characteristic of European mechanical watches from the 1950s to the 1970s. The contrast between the aged white surface and the gold elements highlights the retro charm of this movement, typical of watch accessories from that period.

The movement is presented without protective glass, allowing direct appreciation of the dial and its details. No elements of the back, case back, or internal components are visible in the photo.

The piece is photographed on a baroque patterned background, but only the front face of the movement is clearly observable. No case, strap, or additional accessories are included in the image.

Did you know? The Incabloc system, mentioned on this dial, was invented in Switzerland in 1934 and became the standard shock protection for mechanical movements. It protects the balance staff from shocks, extending the lifespan of watches worn daily.
