"La Suisse offre une montre a la Princesse Elizabeth" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1947 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in French.

The opening paragraphs of the article read:

"Avec ses compliments, le Governement suisse a offert une montre a la Princess Elizabeth, a l'occasion de son mariage. Comme il se doit en pareille circonstance, les autorites suisses ont tenu a faire un cadeau qui soit digne, a la fois de celle qui le recoit et de la reputation de notre plus belle industrie.

"La montre a ete commandee a la plus ancienne manufacture suisse d'horlogerie, Vacheron & Constantin, a Geneve. Concue et executee specialement pour la princesse par une elite d'artisans, elle fait grand honneur a l'horlogerie et a la bijouterie suisses."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]

The article is one single page in length (on one side of one single sheet of paper).

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
