Leader Vintage Swiss Made Ball Pendant Watch - A vintage ball-form pendant watch produced by Leader. The spherical case is constructed from metal with yellow gold-tone plating and a contrasting silver-tone central band. The exterior features intricate engine-turned guilloché engraving in a wavy pattern, further embellished with starburst motifs and small red enamel accents. The white dial is set with black Arabic numerals and gold-tone leaf-style hour and minute hands. Markings on the dial include the brand name LEADER below the 12 o'clock position and SWISS MADE at the 6 o'clock position. The timepiece is equipped with a manual wind mechanical movement operated by a knurled winding crown located on the central band. Case diameter: 17.5 mm. The watch is in good vintage condition with signs of wear consistent with age. There is significant thinning and loss of the yellow gold-tone plating, particularly on the high points of the decorative engraving. The central silver-tone band exhibits tarnish and surface darkening. The dial shows minor age-related discoloration, though all numerals and text remain clear and legible. The crystal has light surface scratching. The mechanical movement has not been tested for functionality or timekeeping accuracy.
