Massive 70's Jaquet Droz Automatic watch - ETA 2789

Massive 70's vintage Jaquet Droz in solid stainless steel case. Jaquet Droz is still trading and producing premium quality mechanical watches although this one must be from their cheaper range as the rotor is not marked with their name or logo on it. I have all reasons to believe this watch is genuine because it was still seal with its bag when I bought it and still have the original tag. Very substantial and blocky in design and the watch looks and feels solid and heavy. Together with the aperture-cut-out dial and the integrated steel bracelet, the watch is a prime example of 70's design: bold, colourful and daring.
