Vintage Zenith Grand Prix Paris 1900 pocket watch dated from 1913.  At the 1900 Paris World's Fair, George Farve-Jacot & Co. was awarded the Grand Prix for their "Zenith" movement, so named because Farve-Jacot believed it represented the best of precision timekeeping. In 1911, the company was renamed after the prized movement.  It is an open-face, manual-wind watch with an original Zenith mechanical movement, 15 rubis, sub-second hand and Swiss made.  Original white ceramic dial features bold, easy-to-read black Arabic numerals, black outer minute divisions, sub-second at 6 o'clock position. All three hands are blued steel.   Cased in a beautiful 52.2mm two-tone (silver and rose-gold tone) round case, all in .800 silver. Double hinged back. The inner caseback (dust cover) reads "Grand Prix Paris 1900".  This engraving refers to the fact that Zenith received a gold medal for its technological advancements at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition (Paris World Fair), and therefore, the dust covers of special pocket watch models, and this pocket watch, were signed Grand Prix Paris 1900 as a commemoration to their achievement. **Asking Price: $599 + Label** **Thank you for looking, we are SECOND HAND HOROLOGY! - Check us out on our social media!**
