Watch Description

This could be the ISOBEL model with the striped dial varient, found one very similar in the adverts with standard dial but it looks blurred so not sure, slight differences I think. 2 Diamonds, 4 blue stones, stunning deco etchings!

Isobel. The etchings on the case should be in a museum they are so beautiful.

Dial/crystal shape rectangular on subject, and slightly tonneau/corner-cut? in the ad.

Unknown.

I'd say unknown until we see a better match to the ad.

Unknown  Here's a 1928 ad snippet for Isobel, which looks quite different than subject watch and the ad snippet Gary posted in root record.  Does that say 25 jewels....or is it just the blur...

The " Minerva "  looks to be a close match with the exception of the dial having a minute track and the sapphires seem to have a different cut than the subject watch. Jewel count is right, it came with simulated Emeralds or Sapphires and 2 diamonds. I'm of the mind someone tried to clean the dial and lost the register and the cut on the sapphires is an artist enhancing the size. I'm kinda with Mark on "Minerva" for now.

I agree with Shawn, I think the track has been cleaned off, all of the watches in the 1930 ad have them, and the Minerva looks to have steps on the case, the subject watch doesn't....Unknown.

Bobbee's Minerva example (from the next comment field) on left, 1930 Minerva ad snippet, next to subject watch, w/ 1929? Isobel on right.
