Illinois Berkeley
Uncommon Illinois “Berkeley” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with red and black enamel, circa 1928.
The “Berkeley” has fantastic Art Deco geometric designs in red and black enamel. It was priced at $55.00 in 1928 and this is the first I have offered in many years. This example is in excellent condition showing only a few tiny specks of brassing to the bezel. Enamel is superb and complete. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 31mm long and 17mm wide. Original sparkle finish dial is excellent, has gold embossed numerals, name, and minute track. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Illinois grade 206 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
