Any idea what these chronographs are?

[DSplash]

Hi
This watch was my grandfathers. He probably got it during WW2 (in France)

I have no idea what this is

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)


Thanks!

Have you had the case back off yet? This could provide some clue to its manufacturer perhaps? Beautiful watch though

Definitely later than WWII. It looks very Galet like with the square pushers. Pop off the case back and see if the movement or the inside of the case back is marked. Very hard to tell from the single picture. There were literally hundreds of companies making these types of chronographs back then.

Ok, Thanks!
So if this one is younger, it’s probably this other one from the 40s

I’ll try to have it opened.
I’d like to service it anyway

Great looking watches & family heirloom too

One of those is clearly mine as it has my name on it.

I have a very similar chronograph from my grandfather. He bought it in 1945 right after the WWII while he was in Europe.
Feelingtheblues gave me some info on it here

Yes, it gives them something special that makes me want to service and wear them although it’ll probably cost more than the watches

The « main » one I got from my grandfather is this one, that he got from a us pilot during the war. Strange thing : the hands from the « pierce » one are the same than on the Breitling...
