Military Officer - April 2007 - (Page 27) “As a professional restorer of antique and classic watches for museums, including the Smithsonian, I recently reviewed the movement and individual parts of the Stauer Noire watch. The assembly and the precision of the mechanical movement are excellent.” —George Thomas Towson Watch Company I’ll take mine black…no sugar I n the early 1930s, watch manufacturers took a clue from Henry Ford’s favorite quote concerning his automobiles, “You can have any color as long as it is black.” Black dialed watches became the rage especially with pilots and race drivers. Of course, since the multi-functional black dial watch went well with a black tuxedo, this adventurer’s timepiece easily moved from the airplane hangar to dancing at the nightclub. Now, Stauer brings back the “Noire”, a design based on an elegant timepiece built in 1936. The rare black dialed, complex automatics from the 1930s have recently hit new heights at auction. One was sold for in excess of $600,000.
