amanico's discovery of a Gubelin Vintage Chronograph with a distinctive blue tachymeter scale sparks a lively discussion among collectors. This post highlights the continuous joy of uncovering rare and beautiful vintage pieces, emphasizing unique design elements and the enduring appeal of classic horology.
I saw this lovely vintage Chronograph, recently. 38 mm steel case, Valjoux 72 ( I think ).
The cool detail? The blue Tachymeter.
Another one I've never seen before!
Best,
Nicolas
