Fernand Surdez Players Compteur Soccer Watch - NOS
goals and corners counter - gold plated 38 mm case - mint condition
The watch was specifically developed for football enthusiasts and features four pushers along with four separate subdials, allowing goals and corner kicks to be counted during a match. The French inscriptions such as “Corner”, “But”, “Visiteur” and “Local” give the dial a truly distinctive character and immediately turn this watch into an absolute eye-catcher.
The “Compteur” – French for “counter” – is housed in a 38 mm gold-plated case with exotically shaped lugs. Particularly impressive is the state of preservation: both the case and the dial remain mint, a condition that is rarely encountered on such a unique sports watch.
Another remarkable aspect is the extremely low production number: only around 600 examples were manufactured between 1946 and 1950. While comparable sports and functional watches of the period were usually made of steel, the gold-plated execution makes this model even more extraordinary.
An exotic vintage collector’s piece full of charm – and without doubt one of the most fascinating watches for football enthusiasts and collectors of unusual complications.
