This Garrard timepiece represents a fascinating piece of British horological history, commissioned by one of the nation's most prestigious heritage names. Known as Crown Jewellers, Garrard produced a limited number of Swiss-made wristwatches, often as distinguished presentation pieces. This particular example, featuring a classic silver dial with applied Arabic numerals in a stainless steel case, was presented in 1969 to mark 20 years of service at Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd, and comes complete with its original presentation box.
