The Marcos Park-o-Phon is an exponent of mid-20th century European watchmaking, combining a classic aesthetic with a rare complication in watches of its category: the mechanical alarm. The distribution of elements on the dial - with the alarm hand pointing to an upper segment with its own numbering - lends a distinctive air to this watch.

In the description of the watches when it is marked "in running condition" it means that the watch is in operation. Since collector's watches often have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general service, overhaul, battery change, adjustment or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers, that is to say, we do not work with stock photography and that is why the photographs are considered part of the cataloging.
