This vintage Herna wristwatch is a beautiful combination of fine jewelry and traditional watchmaking. Crafted in 14K white gold, the watch features a slender rectangular face surrounded by an intricate arrangement of natural diamonds and four pearls. Geometric diamond-set sections frame the face, while open rectangular links continue along the bracelet, finished with a safety chain.
The dial is signed HERNA and marked 17 JEWELS INCABLOC, with blue hands and a traditional manual-wind mechanical movement. Natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.75 carat are set throughout the design, adding sparkle against the white gold, while the pearls provide a lovely contrast.
The watch measures approximately 6.5 inches in overall length and weighs 24.81 grams, giving it a substantial fine-jewelry presence on the wrist.
The mechanical movement does wind and run; however, it will eventually stop and needs to be wound again periodically. It also requires occasional adjustment to keep the correct time. We have not had the movement professionally serviced, and a qualified vintage watchmaker may be able to service or regulate it to improve its timekeeping.
VINTAGE WATCH CARE & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Vintage mechanical watches can be unpredictable, particularly when their service history is unknown. This watch is currently running when wound, but we do not guarantee the accuracy, duration, or continued operation of the movement. Even a functioning vintage movement may gain or lose time, require more frequent winding or adjustment, or need future servicing.
We are offering this piece primarily for its 14K white gold construction, natural diamonds, pearls, craftsmanship, and vintage character, rather than guaranteeing the performance of its mechanical movement. The purchaser should expect that professional servicing may be necessary if consistent timekeeping is desired.
To help preserve the watch, keep it away from water and moisture, avoid impacts, and do not overwind the movement. We recommend having any adjustments, repairs, or servicing performed by a watchmaker experienced with vintage mechanical watches.
