Vintage Gold Women's Wrist Watch JAZ Paris Dainty Size with Leather Strap

Vintage Gold Women's Wrist Watch JAZ Paris Dainty Size with Leather Strap-
In 1941 the ‘Jaz Bird’ logo was created. During the German occupation of France in WWII, the Jazz music genre was considerably frowned upon due to carrying pro-American influences. However, attempts to censor the spirit of jazz and its influences were thwarted through the use of images of the the “Jaseur” (waxwing in English) bird, a migratory bird about the size of a starling. The Jaz brand used this bird as its logo to symbolize its defiance, and their success was unstoppable. In 1943, the ten millionth unit was produced, and when France was liberated, JAZ was the number one French clockmaker (source). The waxwing ‘Jaz bird’ emblem is one of the most commonly used brand logos. The Seiko watch company had signed on to collaborate with Jaz in 1947, although co-production didn’t start for many years. Seiko worked with Jaz on their popular “Made in Paris” line in the early 1980’s and 1990’s, which were still French made, but with Seiko movements.
