Rare Vintage Jaquet-Droz 17 Jewels Incabloc Mechanical Watch - Running Strong! Overall: The watch is in great condition for its age. Status: Running very strong! History & Provenance. Overview & ValuationBrand: Jaquet-Droz (Swiss Made)Movement: 17 Jewels Mechanical (Manual Wind) with Incabloc shock protectionEstimated Value: £180 - £250 (Based on current market rarity, strong timekeeping performance, and collector interest in the historic Jaquet-Droz house).History & ProvenanceJaquet-Droz is one of the most prestigious names in Swiss watchmaking history, founded by Pierre Jaquet-Droz in 1738, famously known for creating incredibly complex automatons and luxury timepieces for European and Eastern royalty. Mid-century mechanical wristwatches bearing the Jaquet-Droz signature are scarce, making this 17-jewel variant a wonderful, hard-to-find piece of horological history for collectors.Item Description & ConditionCosmetic Condition:Overall: The watch is in great condition for its age.Dial: Beautiful crisp white dial featuring classic Roman numeral markers. Shows elegant, light age-related spiderweb crazing/patina around the perimeter, giving it an authentic vintage character.Case & Crystal: Clean gold-toned case showing minimal wear. Clear crystal protects the dial beautifully.Caseback: Stamped with "Fond Acier Inoxydable" and serial number 10000.Strap Condition:The attached mesh strap requires a fix near the clasp mechanism (as detailed in close-up photograph IMG_20260704_121810.jpg).I am deliberately leaving this strap on the watch to preserve its history and current presentation. However, it is very easy to swap this out for a period-accurate leather or mesh strap if you choose to wear it regularly.Mechanical Performance:Status: Running very strong!Accuracy: Tested over a 24-hour period, it proved surprisingly accurate and reliable.Timegrapher Readings: As shown in IMG_20260704_121253.jpg, the movement beats at 21,600 bph, showing steady performance for a vintage mechanical movement of this era.Important Notes & DisclaimersPlease study the provided photos (IMG_20260704_121723.jpg, IMG_20260704_121253.jpg, IMG_20260704_121927.jpg, IMG_20260704_121741.jpg, IMG_20260704_121803.jpg, IMG_20260704_121810.jpg, IMG_20260704_121818.jpg, IMG_20260704_121827.jpg, IMG_20260704_121730.jpg, IMG_20260704_121735.jpg) and the accompanying video closely.
