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. Before :  After :   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.  |

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

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.

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?
