Horological Meandering

my guess…..

 

My guess, like one of the other responders, is that this could be an Eberhard.  It has the look and the configuration of their earlier pieces.  But, of course, it could be several other things as well.  It could also have been made by Eberhard for some other brand.  Who knows - that's the joy of these earlier pieces.  Love to see the movement, it's markings, and the case markings.  If it's large (near 40mm) that's even a stronger possibility that it has Eberhard origins.  I take issue with one of our readers who said that the dial is "obviously" a re-dial.  I have found, having owned many vintage chronos over many years, that whenever a vintage watch has a smashing dial it is automatically assumed it's a re-dial.  There are great older pieces out there  with excellent original dials.  This could be one of them.  When looking at the dial in the picture you posted, it's not totally clear because we also don't know the condition of the crystal - our "lens" to viewing the dial.  If that's a re-dial…..I'd like the name of the company that did it.  It is possible it's a very good original dial, and I don't think it's obvious at all that it's been redone.  Lovely watch…..

Eberhard mono pusher Cal 16000 from the late 40s, from the case, hands and sub dials. Some of them had a "slide button" at 4 to block the chrono... something like that: photocredit: lorologiese The Eberhard movement looks like this: Strange though that th...

...this to be an early Hahn Landeron cal. - dial clearly is redone, case obviously chromium plated brass/nickelsilver. Not much help, I'm afraid. Best regards Suitbert

Can you get more pictures

to be able to have a good guess at this it would be necessary to see the movement and any numbers or writing on the case. The only thing that can be guessed from your picture is the fact that the watch is a one button chronograph. Generally this would pla...

Hi, just to explain and perhaps clarify a bit - I've some reasons for my conclusions written earlier - even though those are personal opinions of course. Well, to me it's obvious that this most likely is a redial - among some other reasons, the printing/l...
