    Anyone have anything to share about this watch?
    Missing a gold-tone ball on one side, otherwise watch is in great working order? I’m going to try for a replacement gold-tone ball for the missing side. Just needs a cold ball with exact dimensions to fit.

    Recently found info: this is a “Vintage Pierce Ladies Wrap Watch”.
    Pierce is a Swiss watch manufacturer.
    The watch company Pierce was founded in 1883 in Biel (Switzerland) by Leon Levy and his brothers under the name Léon Lévy Frères Manufactures des Montres et Chronographes Pierce SA. At a certain point, the company decided to use plastic for the central wheel. Although hyped as a revolutionary material back in the day, it was mostly a way for the company to get cheaper parts. That decision is today considered a mistake, as the plastic weakened the entire movement and sometimes led to the destruction of the wheel itself. For watchmakers, it was a nightmare to repair; for collectors, it became the perfect watch to bully.……….
