Lucien Piccard

Lucien Piccard

Sold Out
This Lucien Piccard timepiece is a captivating example an approx. 1950's-1960's timepiece. Founded in Switzerland in 1923, Lucien Piccard gained popularity for its luxury watches in the mid-20th century, notably being worn by celebrities and dignitaries, including the likes of Frank Sinatra.

Design and Construction

This watch features a 34mm case plated in yellow gold, with a lug-to-lug length of approximately 39.5mm. The case itself remains in great condition.

Movement

At the heart of this Lucien Piccard is a 17-jewel FHF 96 movement, a manual-wind caliber known for its reliability and precision. The "FHF (Font) ST (Standard)" stamp indicates that this movement was produced by Fabrique d'Horlogerie de Fontainemelon, a respected Swiss manufacturer. The movement in this piece runs well at the time of listing, but has not been bench tested for precise accuracy.

Signature Features

The gold dial on this piece beautifully complements its yellow gold-plated case, creating an elegant and cohesive appearance. Notably, the "Dufonte Co. & LA" stamp on the movement suggests that this timepiece was part of Lucien Piccard's Dufonte line, which offered stylish and quality options at more accessible price points.

Dial and Aesthetics

The gold dial pairs nicely with the striking black roman numeral hour markers, offering excellent legibility against its polished surface. The dial is protected by a plastic crystal.

Strap and Wearability

This Lucien Piccard comes fitted with an brown alligator grain strap measuring approximately 7.25 inches (not including watch head).
