The Watch

Here we have a 1950s Heuer Chronograph 68952 with a 35mm Stainless Steel case that curves over your wrist with refined tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 42mm and a case thickness of 13mm ensuring a comfortable fit. Down the right side, we have piston-style chronograph pushers and a signed push/pull crown in the centre. A smooth bevelled-edged bezel holds a domed crystal above a white dial, an outer minute track is precisely executed with tritium-coated Arabic numerals marking the hours, the bicompax chronograph consists at 3 o'clock a 30-minute register and at 9 o'clock continuous second's register. Each register is finely printed with a stick hand, and elegant thermally-blued Dauphine hands infilled with Tritium are complemented by a tapered chronograph hand. At 12 o'clock we have the Heuer motif completing this vintage bicompax chronograph. On the reverse a screw-down case back, inside a manually wound Valjoux 23, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour, fitted with a later Valjoux 230 balance. A true workhorse of a column wheel chronograph that was in production from 1916 until 1974. The watch comes paired with a well-suited 19mm leather strap.
