Description
A classic and elegant vintage Juvenia dress watch dating to the 1960s, featuring a clean minimalist dial, slim stainless steel case, and Swiss mechanical movement. This understated piece reflects the refined styling of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, with applied baton markers, slender hands, and a slim profile ideal for everyday wear or formal occasions.
The watch is powered by the Juvenia Calibre 612, a 17-jewel Swiss manual wind movement. The watch winds, sets, and runs well, keeping good time at the point of listing. The dial shows attractive age-related patina and light spotting, giving the watch genuine vintage character.
Fitted with a new black leather strap and presented in a Bowles Ltd watch gift box.
Maker History
Juvenia was founded in 1860 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and became known for producing elegant, slim dress watches with quality in-house movements. During the mid-20th century, Juvenia produced refined mechanical watches comparable to brands such as Longines, Omega, and Universal Genève, though typically at a more accessible price point. Vintage Juvenia watches are increasingly collectible for their understated styling and reliable Swiss craftsmanship.
