Vintage Wittnauer Watch

Gorgeous 10K Gold-filled / Stainless Steel men's watch featuring a beautiful Ivory micro-ribbed guilloche textured Dial--original, beautiful dial--with Art Deco style numeral indices and odd-number hours with stick indices. The thin bezel creates a large face/dial thus wears larger on the wrist.

Elegant dial guilloche dial features an intricate machined design and an overall formal shimmery finish. Guilloche (also called engine-turning) is a decorating technique in which intricate geometric patterns are engraved onto watch parts like dials and cases. Lines are etched into the part via a hand-operated lathe (historically) hand-cranked rose-engine lathe, either in straight lines or in circles. The end result is an eye-popping design that adds value and visual flare to a timepiece.

Guilloche patterns themselves come in all sorts of varieties;  this technique gives the dial its elegant appearance which reads as a fine satin finish created by the vertical micro-ribbed texture which is even difficult to see with the naked eye.
