Description:
This chronograph by Henry Moser, Switzerland, produced around 1920 for the Russian market, provides a technical refinement. The minute counter of the chronograph "jumps" for a minute, with each full revolution of the chronograph, visibly fast and precise, distinctly different from the normal design. The movement also features the highest precision with angled and polished steel levers. This at a watch from the earliest time of wrist watches! This is not a converted pocket watch, the case and the work are certainly original and belong together.
