But the 20 century replaced horses with more practical and powerful automobiles. It gave enterprising people a wide range of possibilities, and the company of Dunhill began its development with the production of accessories and clothing for the first drivers. The slogan of Alfred (1872-1959) said: “It must be practical, safe, beautiful, and durable, and it must be the best”. More than 100 years this philosophy underlies the Dunhill's business. Few people know that Alfred Dunhill started his way to the world of beautiful and sophisticated things in 1893. The first shop “Dunhill's Motorities” was opened at Euston road, London. Since 1903 this shop had watches in sale. Those water resistant watches caused a great sensation in foggy London. Dunhill became interested in wrist watches in the middle of 20s. They were distinguished by novelty and vivid design. The regular customers had an opportunity to choose different watches in the catalogues: square, round, diamond-shaped, men, and women watches. By the end of 20s a wide range of bracket clocks appeared in the watch collection. However, the audience was mostly admired by the design know-how in 1926: the clocks were built in the case of classic lighter “Unique”. The trend of unusual things remained, and in 1928 the watch «Reversible» were built in the silver buckle of men belt. The wrist watches and writing implements appeared in the collection when the contract with Japanese Namiki was concluded. As with all our stock this piece comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.What we thinkI love this AD model and its one of my favourite watches from the 1980s collection this the neo-vintage style along with that fabulous banded T-bar not to dissimilar to the Cartier Vendome Models along with cabochon crown and in our opinion equal in quality.

You'll be sure to get lots of people asking you about this special watch! It is a comfortable fit and looks great on both men and women. A real design winner from Alfred Dunhill again.Spec StuffSerial : Reference : 12777Movement : Swiss ETA Quartz battery powered Age : 1971/1980Specific Age : 1980Case Size : 33mmCase Thickness : 6.8mmLug to Lug : 40mmLugs : 18mmCondition : Pre-OwnedBox & Papers : Original BoxCase Material : Sterling 925 Silver HallmarkedWarranty : 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty
