Description
Beautiful vintage Arnex pocket watch in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, powered by the highly respected Valjoux 90 manual-wind movement.
The watch is housed in
a gold plated case with a hinged
front cover,
preserved in outstanding, unused condition with crisp edges and
excellent luster. The dial features a silver brushed finish
that catches the light beautifully, providing an elegant contrast to
the bold Arabic numerals and blued steel hands. Surrounding the dial is a
blue date track that truly stands out, adding depth and visual interest while enhancing legibility.
At 12 o’clock, the watch displays day and month apertures, while a charming moonphase complication at 6 o’clock
completes the balanced and sophisticated layout. The combination of the
silver dial surface and vivid blue calendar markings gives the watch a
striking yet timeless presence.
Inside beats the legendary Valjoux 90, a high-grade
Swiss movement renowned for its precision, durability, and complex
calendar and moonphase functions. The watch winds smoothly and presents
exactly as an unused example, making it an exceptional find for
collectors and enthusiasts alike.

About the Arnex Brand
Arnex is a Swiss watch brand that became particularly well known during the mid-20th century,
especially from the 1940s through the 1970s. The company focused on
producing reliable, well-finished Swiss watches for international
markets, often using high-quality ébauches from respected movement manufacturers such as Valjoux, ETA, and others.
While Arnex was not positioned as a luxury “manufacture” brand, it earned a solid reputation for:
Using robust, proven Swiss movements
Offering excellent value for quality
Producing both wristwatches and pocket watches with classic styling
Because Arnex frequently housed premium movements in understated
cases, many of their watches are now appreciated by collectors who value
mechanical quality over brand hype.

their durability, smooth operation, and visual appeal.

Their mechanical complexity
Limited surviving examples in excellent condition
Strong association with high-quality vintage Swiss watchmaking
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved Swiss pocket
watch that perfectly blends classic elegance with mechanical
