the dirty dozen | a swiss contingent
It’s not a reference to a 1967 war movie, in fact The Dirty Dozen were the twelve Swiss manufacturers commissioned to supply the British Ministry of Defence during the Second World War. These unassuming timepieces appeal to a wide range of military and watch collectors alike and often bring incredible prices at auction. The one shown above, by IWC, made an impressive £4,200 at a McTear’s Watches Auction.
