··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerThanks. Not much to be found about it.
Black one was sold by Sotheby's for a ridiculous (?) price: https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2012/important-watches-ge1204/lot.242.html
Nice write up about another black one: https://www.uhrenkosmos.com/marvin-gyroplan-und-die-besondere-zeitanzeige/
Another white one here: https://tokeibakai.exblog.jp/22385408/
Abused - square - one here: http://www.orologiko.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21847
Another square one at an Italian auction: https://www.arsvalue.com/it/lotti/1...30-cassa-n-555563-rettangolare-in-metallo-con
And a nice period ad: https://twitter.com/_pachch/status/376997525959761920

·I picked up this Paul Vallette watch as a Valentines Day gift for my wife. Paul Vallette was a brand of Ed. Heuer, precursor to TAG Heuer. The watch probably dates to the mid-1920s to the early 1930s. The dial design caught my eye. Hard to capture in a photo, the hands have been furnace blued. As you can see from the photos, the dial really changes with the lighting. Just a neat little piece.
My intent is to have an "elegant" bund-style strap designed/made just slightly wider than watch case that the watch will sit atop to give it a more "modern" presence. Playing around with designs now as my WM services the movement.

·I’d love to see how that strap works out. A lot of these watches could be saved if they were made wearable
I have played around in the past with trying to "update" vintage women's watches to make them more "wearable" by modern tastes. Below are a couple of examples....I had a friend who makes jewelry incorporate a 1928 Longines and a 1920s Wenvo into casual bracelets for my wife.

·It really is a shame that vintage women's watches aren't, or don't appear to be, as collectible as vintage men's watches. While part of that might be due to women generally being less fascinated with the "geeky" mechanical aspects of watches/machinery, some of it is undoubtedly due to the relatively tiny size of many vintage women's watches and/or their comparatively more "dated" designs.

personally, I love the thin cord bracelets on women’s watches.

·No watch IMO will make anyone look any more or any less stylish or sexy or classy than they are without the watch.
People IMHO are mistaken if they are counting on a watch to make them more attractive, or if they think a cord watch will make a woman look like her aunt Gertrude if that’s not the vibe she gives out.
My two cents worth.

·It took me 20 minutes to work out where this building it from. I couldn't shake that I had seen it before. I passed it on the way to work in Melbourne!
