Our love for rare and beautiful objects isn't limited to those of the horological variety! In addition to our perpetual treasure hunt for great watches, we cast a wider net into the world of vintage objects, a practice that, since our founding, has yielded a trove of finds we happily share during the holiday season each year.
From vintage clocks to pocket knives, lighters to diving instrumentation, old-world ashtrays to desk sculptures — these are the types of mementos that heavily tug on our nostalgic heart strings and further sate our impulse for preservation and storytelling.
Unfortunately we can't keep them all...
This fantastic vintage paperweight likely dates to the 1990s and features a Mercedes-Benz tri-star hood ornament with its signature signed wreath base mounted into a sculpted lucite block. Part of the Mercedes Benz Collection of branded gifts, this great piece can be used purely as a display item or tasked with keeping your important documents from escaping your desktop.
Either way, this signature brand icon from the Stuttgart automaker will certainly be a charming accent to your work or personal space!
