The chromed cushion case displays visible scratches, small marks and localised plating wear, particularly around the edges and lugs, where areas of the underlying metal are visible. The stainless-steel case back shows surface scratches and opening marks. The silver dial presents scattered spotting and age-related patina, while the applied markers and hands retain a clearly defined appearance. The acrylic crystal shows visible scratches, including more pronounced marks across its surface. The leather strap displays some creasing, and the original Glycine box shows age-related discolouration and handling wear. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description. The watch’s water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided. Story & Heritage Founded by Eugène Meylan in Biel/Bienne in 1914, Glycine has longstanding roots in Swiss watchmaking. Its early focus on small movements reflects a tradition of combining mechanical craftsmanship with carefully considered proportions. This vintage example expresses that appeal through a compact cushion case whose softly rounded corners frame the circular dial. The broad case surface gives the watch a distinctive silhouette, while the restrained silver dial provides an elegant counterpoint. The red seconds hand brings a lively accent to the composition, standing out against the pale background and dark marker inserts. A neatly framed date window at 3 o’clock adds everyday practicality without overwhelming the balanced display. Inside, the manual-wind movement preserves the personal ritual of traditional mechanical timekeeping. Presented with its original Glycine box and paired with a blue leather strap, this watch offers an attractive combination of Swiss heritage, individual design and the visible character of a vintage timepiece.
