Retro 1940s Hebros Ruby Diamond 14k Rose Gold Bracelet Watch
HELBROS
Helbros watches, founded in 1913 by the Helbein brothers, were known for producing quality, affordable timepieces. Initially based in Geneva, the company eventually moved to the United States and became the Helbros Watch Corporation. While they were known for assembling and selling watches from various European sources, including Switzerland, Germany, and France, they also designed and manufactured their own watches. Helbros watches gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 60s, and were a common sight in the US market. The brand was later acquired by Elgin in 1963 and then by Jules Jürgensen.
The expandable band is gold filled, all else gold.
The watch IS keeping time at present, but WILL require professional cleaning.
Due to the delicate nature and age of antique timepieces, we cannot guarantee them to be running upon delivery, nor does it come with any warranty.
The condition is very good with negligible wear commensurate with age.
