Horological Meandering

Thanks, another piece

Hi, I found another piece of the puzzle while looking at the Breitling site, the 1884 link has a great little video history and the first "single pusher" they developed in 1923 is strikingly similar to my watch. I had suspected that the dial was repainted and the hands replaced, but if you look carefully at the second hand and the register hands they are a twin to mine. Notice also the lack of a name on the dial, I now have enough to help the restoration along but I would still like the history and particulars of the movement. When did they start signing Montbrillant on the dial and when was that switched to Breitling? Thanks again for the input, Jim

Sorry about the poor quality but I couldn't capture the images so I snapped a photo of my screen....whatever it takes!

Montbrillant Chronograph, Early Breitling???

I heard somewhere that anything Breitling pre 1930's was labeled Montbrillant

From what I heard it was 1932, but that looks earlier. Thats what I heard...
