It was listed by The Vintage Wrist Watch Company. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1940s.
The movement is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good.
The watch measures 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the buttons. The case is gold plated and there is some marking and wear, especially to the back of the case, behind the winding crown. The snap-on case back is stainless steel.
The lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed Chronomètre Wilhelm. It is in its original finish which has darkened with age although very easy to still tell the time. Gold coloured hands with a black chronograph hand. There are two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and one to record up to 30 minutes. They both re-set to zero as they should.
A later brown leather strap has been fitted.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1940s.
