Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch
December 18, 2008
My newest watch obsession is this Ernest Borel Cocktail watch which was manufactured in the 1960’s. The watch features two semi-transparent disks that when wound, rotate in opposite directions to create a dizzying kaleidoscope effect. I also love the lugs, red hands, and the see-through case.
The back shows the exposed movement

My grandmother is looking to purchase a Ernest Borel Watch (cocktail). She bought one in Switzerland while travelling in Europe years ago. It is not in the same condotion anymore so she needs to buy a new one over the internet because they dont sell them here in South Africa.
Please contact me with some info if possible.
Thank you.

I just dropped my mom’s 60’s vintage Borel coctail watch and broke the crystal …would like very much to replace whole watch. Anyone have one they could part with?

i have a 1960’s Ernest Borel cocktail watch it is 10k gold 17 jewels swiss patent it features two semi transparent discs which rotate…what is the value of this watch?
Hi,
I have a Borel 17 jewel skeleton back,but my entire
face is black with the spinning center,it is on a 14kt gold band,I bought it at an Antique Show many years ago,I would like to know if this is one of a kind or not,and what is it worth today ?
Hi, Is the watch case also 14k, or just the band? Is it a ladie’s size or the larger gent’s model?
In addition to the base metal models, Borel did make gold filled and also 14k gold watch cases for the Cocktails, from my understanding.
Either way, I am jealous! Great find!
