More about this Moreland Antique
An early Swiss wristwatch
Moreland is a Swiss-made name from the first decades of the wristwatch, when watches were moving from the pocket to the wrist. This piece has the hallmarks of that era: a white enamel dial, bold Roman numerals, a small sub-seconds register and wire lugs for a slim strap.
It is hand-wound. We check the enamel dial (these can hairline with age), the movement and the winding in store, and tell you honestly what it is.
Wearing it
At its small antique size it wears as a genuine piece of history. Enamel dials like this are prized for their crisp, glassy black-on-white look that does not fade.
The Moreland story behind this watch
From pocket to wrist
The trench-watch era, around the First World War, is when the wristwatch was born, often by fitting wire lugs to small pocket-watch movements. Enamel-dial pieces like this Moreland are a direct link to that moment.
Value comes down to the condition of the enamel dial and a clean, running movement.
From pocket to wrist: an antique Swiss enamel-dial wristwatch from the trench-watch era.

- We check that the hand-wound movement winds, sets and runs in store, and confirm the case metal in person.
