What We Fancy

Non-traditional dress watch cases seem to be all the rage in the vintage collecting community this year. Brands like Cartier and Piaget are trading at an all-time high because of their “different” design aspects. This 1970s UG Tonneau case is simple but has some of that non-traditional flair aspect that is so popular today. And for well under 1k….
