Here is civilian Lemania chronograph for gentlemen.

 

The whole lot of you enablers are going to derail my home improvement fund.

...... well, when I'm not getting derailed by an Omega or Longines.

I hate you guys - and I mean that in the nicest way.

 

Wow, that's a good looking watch!

 

Oh, no, there it is again!

Pure envy, nothing else

 

Some really amazing Lemania´s in this thread, thanks alot for sharing!

 

I have these 2, both assymetrical single button chronographs, looking for 2 button assy' chrono' if anyone has one available.

 

The Tg courtesy of Martin.

 

Hi Larry! Nice to re-see that Tg, and nice to see that you still have it. It´s been a while since oct-10

 

very nice Tg195, I had one of these with chocolate dial, much regret in selling.

 

Hey Martin! It's not going anywhere, well maybe to the watchmaker for a cleaning. I too have come close on a SAAF (5012) only to fail and see them skyrocket in value. That one and a Zenith Cairelli I let slip through my hands a few years back will haunt me until I pay - and shut- up.

 

I would suggest a whole brand forum!
Lemania is one of the truly neglected greats!
It does not help to have a owner that rebadge you into Breguet.

 

To give some ideas of the diversity here are some from my collection, all in-house calibers and of a lovely quality:

 

Wow Northernman! Spectacular watches there. Is it acceptable to dibs an entire collection?
Especially 1, 3, 6, 10 & 11

 

Only one in the stable and many of you will have seen it before, not going to let a little thing like that stop me showing it again

 

Noted but you may have to wait a few decades!

 

Just to make Dennis happy. Here's my one and only...
Cal. 1275 from ~1955 with 39mm case

 

Looks nice. The105 is a lower end cam operated movement. "Sports range".
They where budget alternatives to the chro27 equipped ones.

 

I think the model shown in an extract from my 1956 catalog should match quite well. The dial on the eBay listing looks faded but otherwise fine IMO.

The dials came in different variants and was not directly linked to the references at Lemania. Designation OT means solid gold. Kind of smallish at 32.5mm. There are others in the catalog at up to 38mm diameter, still in massive gold. Have not seen any advertised so I guess those big ones are very rare.
The seller does go on about high finish movement. It is not! But it is a very decent quality!

 

I like this piece a lot too and yeah, timing was never right for me either ...
