| Remarks |
this Vertex is part of the ” Dirty Dozen “, the name given to a group of 12 similary-styled watches worn by British soldiers at the time of WWII, which were commissioned from 12 companies by the British Ministry of Defence. Each company delivered as many watches as their manufacturing would allow. Of a total of roughly 145,000 watches, 15,000 were manufactured by Vertex.
Vertex was founded in England, Hatton Gardens, and was, at one time, one of the most successful watch companies in Great Britain. |
