A wristwatch [solid silver] manufactured in 1910. Overhauled in December 2024, accuracy within 1 minute per day. A rare antique watch from 1910 that continues to shine even after more than 100 years. The solid silver case has a beautiful luster from aging, allowing you to enjoy the elegant texture unique to antiques. Enamel decoration is applied to the bezel, creating a classical yet glamorous look. The delicate design by skilled craftsmen exudes a unique presence not found in modern watches. The dial is finished with enamel and retains its luster even after 100 years. [About the Enamel Dial] Enamel dials are made by baking a glass-like powder (enamel) onto a metal plate at high temperatures. Because of this, they do not fade even after 100 years and maintain a pure white, glossy shine. It has a depth and transparency like porcelain, which cannot be achieved with printing or paint. At the time, skilled craftsmen baked them one by one by hand. Due to the delicate process, where even a slight error in temperature or time would cause them to crack, the yield was low, and they were very expensive. Therefore, enamel dial watches were only used in high-end models and custom-made models. Because of its glass-like nature, it is resistant to ultraviolet rays and humidity, and the letters and indexes remain clear, which is unique to enamel. Even small cracks (hairline cracks) are loved as "style" that tells the story of time. [Blue Steel Hands] Blue steel hands (blued hands) are a traditional craft technique created by the delicate temperature control and experience of watchmakers. The steel hands are carefully heated to around 290°C, and the surface is oxidized to naturally develop color, resulting in a deep, clear blue color. This is not coloring by painting or plating, but by the color change of the metal itself. The blue created by this heat treatment changes its expression from ultramarine to purplish depending on the angle of the light, showing a beauty as if it were alive. The daily accuracy is about 1 minute, which is extremely accurate for a watch of that time. This is a rare and valuable piece that is rarely available.
