    Hello everyone,

    Would anyone know anything about this watch, a Guy-Robert (Musette) Chronometre? I have been trying to look for info on it and the only thing I found was this link regarding a different watch on a German watch forum. https://uhrforum.de/musette-chronometer-t109786

    I thought, since many here like chronometres, someone might be able to give me a little more information. I have been trying to get a movement shot but so far the seller has not answered.

    I think it's a nice looking watch.

    The description says that it's 34mm, 21 rubis and has an incabloc.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    EDIT : As for the photos, this is what is available. The seller must live in a Cave.

    Well that pretty much killed the watch unless those Musette chronometers are pretty cool.

    Mikrolisk shows that "Fabrique of the Montres Musette SA" was a division of the Henri-Robert Guy & Co. of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Musette was first registered as a wordmark in January 1914. Other registered names include the Calva and the Résist models, shown here:

    According to Ranfft, the Musette models shown above were powered by various A. Schild calibers. Perhaps the source of your movement?

    The manufacturer, Henri(-Robert) Guy, is my late grand-father. I (dearly) own a few of his watches. I really like to ones shown on this page, very touching to see that they are still used and worn.
