This is a good looking antique original watch from oneof Switzerland\'s watchmakers, which was manufactured at the beginning of XX century. Thiswatch withan open balance and the 8-day power reserve is prized for reliability,convenience in use (must be wound up not often, once a week), and meetsrelatively seldom, and in goodcondition - the more seldom. It looks spectacular and antiquarian.
Thisunique and rare mark of timepiece features anoriginal white porcelain enamel dial, decorated with silver and gold inlay.Aside from little scratches visible uponclose inspection and despite more than 100-year-old age, the dial appears in almost good condition! Theporcelain enamel beautiful dial features a 60 minute checkered inner trackborder, Arabic numerals, and gold-colored hands of beautiful shape. Thebeautiful unusual dial with an opening at the bottom of the dial has an exposed engraved bridge with balance andregulator that makes it possible to expose the balance wheel andpallet-fork. The engraving of the bridge balance is made manually. Also the regulator of accuracy A/R F/S isbrought out to the dial. The beautiful dial is marked \"8 JOURS\" (\"8 DAYS\" from French), “8 ZILE” (from Romanian) as well as HEBDOMAS.

HISTORY: The origin of thewatch traces back to 1888 when a watchmaker from the Jura canton (Switzerland)applied for a patent for an 8-days watch with a visible escapement. The patentwas granted on 10 january 1889 but this in turn was purchased by a watchmaker fromLa Ferrière,Arthur Graizely, who developed the watch into a commercial success. Later, inpartnership with Otto Schild from Grenchen, they set up business inLa-Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland)at the beginning of the century under the name of Graizely & Co. In 1906the partnership was dissolved and a new company was formed under the name ofSCHILD & Co., and established in a new factory in Rue du Parc.
Thename \'Hebdomas\' recalls the festivities of Ebdomee, held in Sparta, Croton and Mileto, which celebratedthe birth of Apollo on the seventh day of the month. In ancient Lesbos, sung by poets, such festivities were dedicated toDionisio, holding many superstitious rituals and beliefs which were linked tothe seventh day of the month. Hebdomas, which is taken fromthe word Hebdomandaire, Ebdomadario, signifies that the watch should be woundup once a week... on the seventh day.
Acentury of tradition has therefore helped Hebdomas to be well known andappreciated throughout the world. These famous time-pieces has been awardedseveral gold medals and distinctions.
