Decided To Finally Get This Working

[longbike]

Aloha ,

Jules Jergenson 1940's  ,  ( According tho a sales website it is a ..... Voljoux 22 , Telemeter Chronograph.
It came with a very unusual Chain Bracelet with one side to hook it on. It was my very first Movement strip down of this models.
What I did was line every thing up on a piece of ply board so not to be a problem. I am just lucky I have a good memory for doing this.
It took some time but I finally got it going. This was a very challenging watch to get apart and back together again.
But I really enjoyed doing it with all these parts coming together again to become a watch again.
I think I'll try finding maybe a very nice strong Alligator or Leather Strap for it and it should look nice once again.

Crown Side :





I am told this is a ....... Valjoux 22  17 Jewel Movement










On a Strap it would look like this for use.  I really like it but a bit small in size.

That's really nice.  What diameter?

Which of the two crowns is correct for the watch? The rounded one seems to fit the design better.
Nice little watch.

   Aloha ,
    Hi Rob this was the only one that I had that fit into it. If I could find the ....Rounded one it would be great.
      I had this one in a parts bottle from The Bay.

You can check the movement ID here: www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?11&ranfft&0&2uswk&Valjoux_22

The ranfft website is a tremendous resource to ID watch movements.  That is a really nice looking Chrono.
Nice job on getting it running!

That's a nice looking watch, too bad it's so small.

Is the Lord Nelson a little larger?

Not sure, but the darned crystal popped off that one.

Great Job Louis I for one think the chain link is neat. Not sure what it would go with...maybe a diver? Any idea what the chapter rings are designed to measure? Doughnuts? artillery?
