Key Features
A beautiful pocket watch dating from the 1960’s to the 1970’s, with a traditional Swiss farm theme of cows and shepherds. Perfect movement with a Unitas caliber and shockproof device (new versions of Unitas are used in many modern Swiss watches of the PANERAI class). The back cover depicts a peaceful rural scene with cows and a shepherd in a mountainous area. The authentic enamel dial is a rare feature in 1960’s watches. This piece is in perfect technical condition, is very comfortable to carry in your pocket, and would make a bright, memorable gift.
This watch is working and ready to wear, a new chain is available and can be fitted with this pocket watch.
About Selhor
Selhor watchmaking company was founded in Eastern France, in 1947 by Charles Callier. The company has changed names a number of times over the years, known at one time as the Spinelli Workshop, and then later as the Maison Callier. The company was well-known for their successful diving watches, and was a strong competitor of companies such as Lip and Yema. The movements used were of French origin, although movements for high-quality models were sourced from Switzerland or Germany.
During the 1970’s Selhor disappeared from the watchmaking scene in France, and only recently has it resurfaced. Today, Selhor continues to create their classic dive and chronograph watch models, still striving upholding the value of French heritage tool watches.
