This product is a hand-wound wristwatch from the brand BENFRE, which appears to have been primarily distributed as a vintage or antique item from around the 1950s to 1960s. Based on the markings and sales information of some watches (from around the 1950s), they were traded as American or Swiss antique watches. I found this watch in a drawer while organizing my mother's vanity. I remember seeing her wind the mainspring about 60 years ago. The dial displays the black lettering "BENFRE," "17JEWELS," and "SWISS" from top to bottom. The back of the case has the markings 18K 0.750 2357. Additionally, each individual part on the back of the strap is stamped with "GG gloria," and stones, possibly diamonds, are set above and below the dial. The weight is 15.22g. The watch works by winding the mainspring with the crown, and the unwinding force moves the hands. The watch runs for about 10 hours on a full wind. Currently, I wind the crown before bed and when I wake up, and adjust the time. When I hold it to my ear, I can hear a ticking sound, and it's amazing that it has been running for over 70 years. It's a unique sound, and it sounds different every day. I hesitated several times about listing it on Mercari, but as I find myself less and less able to do these things daily, I've decided to list it this time. I would be grateful if someone who will cherish it for a long time would purchase it. Thank you for your consideration.
