Jaquet Girard Brevet Compressor
Jaquet Girard Brevet Compressor
Single cross-hatched crown compressors aren't in large supply, and this Jaquet Girard model wrapped in a Brevet signed case speaks quite well for itself.
Similar in design to the brand's "Airvac" models earlier in the century, this bezel-free diver watch has the sleek yet understated design that flies under the radar. The caseback has a large raised seal emblem, while the top side sports a fresh super high dome diver crystal, brushed dial, and non-luminous dauphine hands. This timepiece shows mild use and age from the decades, and still continues to have a glowing dial that is more than pleasant to gaze at on your wrist.
You wouldn't know this watch had so much going for it if you didn't take a closer look...And we wouldn't have it any other way.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
