Description

Age: 1960s

Maker: Girard-Perregaux

Case:  Original, unpolished case in very good condition with all the lines intact.  There are two crowns: one for winding the primary mainspring and setting the time, and a second for changing the alarm indicator disc at 6 O’Clock.  When the alarm crown, marked “A” is engaged, a tiny hammer strikes a post in the case back causing it to sound.

Caseback marked Stainless Steel.  Marked 7742F between top lugs.

New crystal installed.

Dial: Original, factory finished eggshell dial with tiny balls of lume at the hour markers.  No, it no longer glows.  All original handset.

Alarm window spans from 4 to 7 O’Clock.  Most mechanical wrist alarms used an alarm indicator hand; the rotating alarm disc and cutout window is very uncommon and possibly unique to this reference.

Movement: It contains the legendary A. Schild 1475 movement, a manual wind movement with alarm complication.   The AS 1475 movement was found in the highest quality watches of the day, including models by Tudor, Abercrombie & Fitch, Bulova, and others.

Fully serviced by our master watchmaker.

Dimensions: 40.5 mm x 34.5 mm without crown(s).  18mm lugs.

Condition:   Excellent vintage condition.

Band:  Pictured on an unpadded, black leather strap.
