Description:

“To PAT from MARY & ROSE — 1942”
Originally crafted in the late 1920s to early 1930s, this engraved Bulova was already a decade old when it was gifted in 1942 — a quiet gesture of love or remembrance during a world at war.

With its ornate Art Deco case and Bulova 3AF manual-wind movement, it’s a story of time passed, preserved in steel and sentiment. Every detail, from the crisp engraved bezel to the elegant cathedral hands, tells a story of design and emotion from a bygone era.

This watch bridges eras — from the Jazz Age’s opulence to wartime America’s resilience, and now, perhaps, to your wrist.


Why Collectors Love It:

  • True Art Deco design with hand-engraved case

  • Pre-WWII Bulova with clear historical context

  • Sentimental provenance with wartime engraving

  • Serviced and ready to wear

  • Comes with a 3-month service warranty
