Brand heritage

Jovial was founded in 1929 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and later moved to Bienne (Biel), where it is still based. From the start the brand specialised in the Middle Eastern market, where it became one of the best-known names for Swiss-made dress watches. Crystal-set bezels and two-tone cases have long been part of its design language.

Condition

Very good pre-owned vintage condition overall. The case, bezel and case back show normal light scratches and signs of age and use. The white dial appears clean and the bezel stones present well. The leather strap shows normal wear and ageing. The Jovial box shows age-related storage wear. As with any vintage watch, it is sold as a collectible, is not guaranteed water resistant, and its timekeeping may differ from a modern watch. Please check all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
