This product is a manual-wind wristwatch called BENFRE, which appears to be a brand name mainly circulated as vintage/antique from around the 1950s-1960s. From the engravings and sales information of some watches (from around the 1950s), it was traded as an American or Swiss antique watch. I found this while organizing my mother's vanity. I vaguely remember seeing it wound about 60 years ago. On the dial, the black lettering "BENFRE," "17JEWELS," and "SWISS" can be seen from top to bottom. On the back of the case, there are engravings "18K 0.750 2357." Additionally, on the underside of the strap, each individual link is engraved with "GG gloria," and stones that appear to be diamonds are embedded above and below the dial. The weight is 15.22g. The hands move by winding the spring with the crown and utilizing the unwinding force. The watch runs for approximately 10 hours. Currently, I wind the crown before bed and upon waking to adjust the time. When held to the ear, a ticking sound can be heard, clearly indicating it has been running for over 70 years. It's an indescribable sound, and it seems to sound different each day. I hesitated several times about listing this on Mercari, but as its operation becomes less consistent day by day, I have decided to list it now. I would be grateful if someone could purchase it and cherish it for a long time. Thank you for your consideration.
