Dugena Festa Pocket Watch 1930s
Calibre Dugena 234What sold me on this one is the double signature inside the lid — the case hallmarked, and the gilt hunter cover opens to a satin lining stamped with the retailer's name, Willy Steffens of Stolberg, giving the piece a paper trail before you even reach the dial. That dial is warm gold-tone with printed Arabic numerals, blued spade hands, and a sunken subsidiary seconds at six, signed Festa for Dugena. The case shows soft rubbing on the high points of both covers, wear consistent with pocket use, though the guilloché engine-turning on the back stays crisp. Opening the back reveals the Dugena calibre 234, a manual-wind movement with a gilt bridge and jewelled train, nothing aftermarket obvious to my eye. It comes with its original fitted case, which I think matters as much as the watch itself. This suits a buyer drawn to 1930s German watchmaking who wants visible use and a documented retailer connection, not a cabinet piece.
Privatverkauf. Everything described above — case, dial, hands, lume, rate and service history — is agreed condition for this watch and I stand behind all of it. Beyond that, the watch is sold excluding liability for material defects, as is normal between private individuals for a vintage mechanical object of this age. That exclusion does not cover anything I have misdescribed or failed to disclose, and never covers injury or intent.
Fourteen days to return it for any reason — my own promise, not a statutory withdrawal right. Terms · How I describe condition
