This 1930s Bertmar wristwatch combines early tool-watch functionality with elegant Art Deco design cues. Its large cushion-style case gives it an almost modern wrist presence—remarkably ahead of its time in both form and proportion.
The military-style dial features bold numerals and a railroad minute track, designed for legibility when precision mattered most. Completing the look are beautiful blue-steeled hands, a signature of quality watchmaking in the early 20th century that adds a touch of refinement to the rugged design.
While not as widely known today, Bertmar was one of many Swiss private-label brands that flourished between the wars, producing dependable timepieces often assembled with high-grade Swiss movements for export to North America and Europe. These watches balanced affordability with craftsmanship and are now prized for their authentic vintage character and distinctive designs.
With its oversized cushion case, military dial, and deep blue hands, this Bertmar is an outstanding example of 1930s watch design—both historically significant and effortlessly wearable today.
