Part of the history of Zodiac is when in 1997 "Montres Zodiac S.A. went to bankrupt and a year after, in September 1998 Genender International, Inc. (a US company in Wheeling, IL) purchased the Zodiac inventory including their trademarks and registrations and other assets. We have heard that this watch comes from that negotiation as a part of the inventory with the complete set and including other special Zodiac pieces that they were never marketed to the public.

Located in Le Locle (Switzerland), Ariste Calame (the son of a watchmaker) in 1882 founded a workshop to produce specialized watches with his name "Ariste Calame" and it was until 1908 when Calame patents the name Zodiac as a brand; they manufacture their own calibers and movements used in the production of pocket watches. "Calame's dynasty managed to become one of the fastest-growing companies in Switzerland."

Since the founding and with more than a century ago, Zodiac have dedicated themselves to precision and pushing to the limits of design innovation to manufacture no only technical and dynamic timepieces but also quality of Swiss Watches.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

It will be carefully packed.
