Huma - Art Deco Two Tone 1940s N.O.S.

Magnificent example from the Huma manufacture.
Created in 1948 by a certain Léon Guersillon in Annemasse.
He would develop the Huma Watch factory until 1954.

We have here an example dating from approximately the 1950s. In N.O.S. condition.
This example was part of a watchmaker's stock, some other examples of which were intended for German forces. They have never been worn or distributed.

A watch whose age still results in tiny micro-defects due to its transport and storage for nearly 100 years.

Mechanical movement, manual winding.
Movement revised, optimal amplitudes and deviations.

Case dimensions: 22mm (with crown) / 43mm (lug to lug)

Intact chrome-plated metal case
Clipped stainless steel case back
Art Deco articulated lugs

Two-tone beige champagne dial
Blued baton hands
Small seconds at 6 o'clock
Arabic numeral indices, with emphasis on 12, 3 and 9.
Railroad minute track.

Original light burgundy slatted leather strap. Steel pin buckle.

A rare example in this condition, both aesthetically and mechanically.
