Féro & Cie was founded by Roger Ferner in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, prior to World War I. The brand name "Fero" is derived from the founder's name, combining the first two letters of his surname and given name (FErner ROger).

Initially, the company produced watches under various brand names, including Ceneri, Farad, Ferio, Hello, Legation, Maloja, Pantheon, and Tango. In the 1950s, the company underwent a rebranding to Fero Feldmann, with operations based in Wolfwil, Switzerland.

Fero watches were known for their distinctive case designs and utilized movements from reputable Swiss manufacturers such as Anton Schild, Bettlach, and FHF. However, like many small Swiss watchmakers, Fero Feldmann ceased operations during the quartz crisis of the 1970s.

Here we have a highly sort-after circa 1960s Fero Feldman Sunburst Blue Dial 17J Mechanical Timepiece in stunning condition.

Its classic cushion shaped case was buffed as best as possible without compromising its shape and lines albeit miniscule scratches that are barely noticeable. The crystal was buffed and is in good condition albeit miniscule scratches are still present.

The unsigned crown is located at the traditional 3H position and is easily accessible. The quick time-set is adjusted via the traditional method of uncorking the crown and turning the crown accordingly. There is no date quick set.

The mechanical movement was given a general clean-up on 17 July 2026; hence, it should be able to operate unhindered until the next servicing thereby providing the owner a peace of mind.
