Wittnauer Fantasia

One factor that we feel differentiates the Analog:Shift approach to vintage timepiece dealings are that we readily step outside the box to source some incredibly interesting and unusual watches for your consideration. This lovely timepiece by Wittnauer, formally known as Electro-chron is more commonly referred to as a 'Fantasia' - which is the style of hoop and stick handset attached. This beauty is a thin-cased electric timepiece---outfitted with the first Swiss electric movement on the market. Wearing a domed acrylic crystal over its silver dial, this piece is unique-- dial and movement. Paired up with a signed alligator leather strap, this piece is incredibly unique. This piece wears much larger than expected and showcases an undeniably cool mid-century design language! Wittnauer is one of the forgotten brands of the modern watch market. There are few things that give us more pleasure than showcasing these little known gems of the industry for our customers. If you love alternative movements, funky designs, and unique displays, this is the watch for you. Backed by one of the authoritative watchmakers out there, this piece is something you won't find on anyone else's wrist.
