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 awesome vintage paperweight is made from solid brass and features BMW’s signature blue-white logo finished in cloisonné enamel at its center. We're not sure of its history, but we suspect this was a 'semi-licensed' product commissioned by a dealer group or regional distributor in the 1970s or early 1980s. All we know is that its a mega-cool artifact from a time when BMWs primarily came with three pedals, round headlights, and Neue Klasse styling!
Whether this great paperweight is used solely as a display item, or is tasked with keeping your important documentss from escaping your desktop, it’ll be a charming accent to your work or personal space. Snag it for the Bimmerphile in your life today!
