Art Deco SD (Salmon Dial) 40

Available in three sizes - 40 mm, 43 mm or 45 mm

The design of the Art Deco pocket watches from the 1920s-1940s was so popular that it was also applied to the first wristwatches from 1940, of course with a much smaller diameter. At that time, these Art Deco wristwatches were between 34 - 38 mm in size, very rare models also 40 mm. Almost all watch brands at that time offered such a model. They differed only slightly in appearance. The Tourby Art Deco 40 builds on the successful Art Deco series and is a logical consequence of the current trend towards smaller diameters. In 2015, Tourby designed the new 40s case specifically for this model. Encasing the 37 mm pocket watch movement in a case with such a small diameter is a technical masterpiece. Tourby proves once again that it is ahead of its time.

Watches with "Salmon Dial", i.e. salmon-colored dials, have a very long tradition in watchmaking, dating back to the 1930s. Classic watches usually have three dial colors: white, black or blue. Colorful dials like green, red or yellow were hardly used at all. That didn't go with classic watches. Salmon-colored dials, on the other hand, were used much more frequently, but only for the very special editions. Most of the time, limited models were equipped with this dial color, or when a tourbillon was built into a model. A salmon colored dial has always been a sign of something very special, and something very rare. Salmon-colored watches from well-known watch manufacturers often achieve top prices at auctions today. Watches with this dial color are the rarest of any collector's collection.

Why do we also use Live Pictures? Even if it looks less professional on a official website, you can only see the quality of the watches from such photos. All watches look great on official product images. Even the cheap ones. But in order to get an accurate feeling of the watches, you have to hold them in your hand. These often have a completely different effect. However, since our customers mostly order online and cannot view the watches beforehand, our pictures must be as authentic as possible.
