THE WATCH

Two names appear on the dial of this 1965 Omega Seamaster, and that's what makes it particularly interesting.

Omega made the watch, but Türler was the respected Swiss jeweller whose name accompanied it. During this period, established retailers sometimes had their signatures added to watches from the manufacturers they represented.

It's a lovely connection to an era when the relationship between watchmaker and jeweller could become part of the watch itself. And beneath that second signature is all the understated elegance that makes these early Seamasters so appealing.

A BIT OF TRIVIA

Türler's interest in mechanical timekeeping went rather further than selling watches.

Between 1986 and 1995, the company commissioned the extraordinary Türler Clock, a mechanical model of the cosmos developed by watchmakers Ludwig Oechslin and Jörg Spöring.

Complete with planetary displays, a representation of the Earth and a perpetual calendar, it took nine years to create.

Quite an achievement for a family business whose name appears so discreetly on this Omega.

OUR THOUGHTS

I particularly like watches with these little connections to their past. The Türler signature doesn't change how the Seamaster works or wears, but it gives us another piece of its story.

And that's part of the pleasure of vintage watches. Sometimes it's the smallest detail on the dial that makes you stop and look a little longer.

A lovely Seamaster with an extra chapter of Swiss watchmaking history.
