Circa 1950-1960s.
Here we have a vintage Cimier Sport Telemetre Chronograph timer watch in a rolled gold plated case and stainless steel back. Once the pusher is deployed, the time advances until the other pusher is pressed. It can time 45 minutes increments on the top register and 6 hours on the bottom register. On this model, the push button at 2:00 stops the sweeping second hand. The push button at 4:00 starts it up again. There is no reset function. The counters can be reset with the winding crown using the time setting function. This watch can thus either be used as a normal watch or as a chronograph. Powering this watch is a manual wind R.Lapanouse mechanical movement in perfect working condition keeping good time over a 24 hour period. The case has some light scratches and measures at approximately 36mm wide x 44mm in overall length. *NS
