Handcrafted Details: The Charm of Unique Imperfections

Another hallmark of the 1960s–70s watchmaking was the high degree of handcrafting involved. Unlike the automated, CNC-driven processes of today, most steps in manufacturing and assembly then were done by hand or on analog machinery guided by human touch. This imparted a certain soul to the final product – along with tiny quirks and variations that modern mass production tends to eliminate.

Collectors often remark that no two vintage watches are exactly alike. This isn’t an exaggeration: the combination of artisanal production and decades of aging means each piece develops its own personality. Even the cases, which were polished and finished by hand, could have subtle differences in edge beveling or lug profile from one watch to the next. These “imperfections” are part of the intentional charm – they speak to a human touch in the creation process.
