The Silver Mirage Watch

“The Silver Mirage” – Vintage Egosta Mechanical Watch (17 Jewels, Shockproof)
Timeless elegance wrapped in shimmering precision.

This dazzling vintage treasure from Egosta is a piece that whispers sophistication in every glint of light. Compact, luxurious, and immaculately preserved, this mechanical wristwatch is the kind of accessory that doesn’t just tell time — it tells a story.

Dial & Movement:
Beneath its domed crystal, the silver-toned dial glows with minimalist elegance. The bold black indices create a striking contrast, ensuring clarity and timeless design. Minor hairline scratches are present on the dial, though barely visible to the naked eye — a gentle reminder of the life it’s lived, without detracting from its pristine presentation. Inside ticks a 17-jewel mechanical movement, a hallmark of quality in classic watchmaking. The jewels (typically synthetic rubies) reduce friction in the movement’s most delicate areas, extending the life of the watch while ensuring smooth, precise operation.

Shockproof by design, this piece was made to last — and it has.

Bracelet & Case:
The real showstopper, however, is the silver-toned bracelet: a rich, highly textured woven metal band that dazzles under the light like liquid stardust. Its tactile, intricate surface resembles molten threads frozen in time — a style rarely found outside of high-end Swiss and German luxury models from the mid-20th century.

This is not your average vintage band — it’s adjustable with a hidden clasp that offers a subtle stretch mechanism, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. There’s no tarnish or discoloration; the bracelet is in perfect condition, catching the light from every angle with a silvery shimmer that evokes old Hollywood glamour. It’s a wearable jewel — sculptural and striking.

Case diameter is small and discreet, perfect for lovers of minimalist vintage design or those drawn to the dainty yet powerful statement of a truly feminine timepiece.

A note on the brand – Egosta:
While not as widely known as giants in the horology world, Egosta was one of many Swiss or German-origin microbrands that flourished during the mechanical watch boom of the mid-20th century. These companies often used the same high-quality movements and cases as their more famous counterparts — just without the same marketing muscle. That makes this piece a hidden gem: rich in quality, light on mass production.
