There is little known about Jacques Prevard; but from what I can find, the brand was trademarked by A.A. Friedman, a very fine Jeweler since 1832. At the time of the trademark, it appears they shifted their business model away from partnering with high-end retailers and started opening their own stores, and this was their watch brand. Because the did this close to the quartz crisis and they were only available in their stores, they are quite scarce, especially an 18k solid gold ultra-thin. The micro-brand failed during the quartz crisis, but the jeweler remained intact. I believe the company originated in France and their only other market was USA. As an estate piece, this is the first Jacques Prevard I see in solid 18k yellow gold. This was just overhauled and working perfect, has a classic calatrava style case with very nice lugs and texture on the bezel. The watch comes with it vintage replacement lizard strap still in good condition. The movement is Swiss made 17 jewel manual wind. Thank you and enjoy!
