Why purchase this Metal Framed Rado Watch Lighted Motion Sign?

Switzerland is known around the world for its watch making. For hundreds of years, the country has produced top quality watches, including everything from low end watches for mass sale to top end watches that are true show pieces. Many people even have collections of watches, whether for display or for wear. Rado opened in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland. Within three decades, it became one of the world's largest manufacturers of watch movements. Today, the company is part of Swatch and is at the high end of the iconic company's products.

This is a motion sign that the company made for watch retailers. It is a metal framed, light up motion piece that dates back to the 1950's or 1960's. Rado supplied the sign free of charge to promote its products. Signs like this one were used heavily and often damaged. This one, though, remains in excellent condition, making it a true find for sign and watch collectors alike. The sign has a plastic face and a metal frame. This sign weighs about five pounds and measures 20" x 16" x 5".
