    Curious if anyone here's seen a chronograph with a case like this before. My understanding is that Ball made Garland watches. This one's got (imo) a really fetching 2-tone black dial, it's 38mm case wears excellently, and the Valjoux 22's just been serviced so I don't have to wonder about it mechanically, but the thing that keeps blowing my mind are these lugs! I don't have anywhere near the depth as most here, so I'd love if someone with more experience than I could share if they've seen similar stuff.

    Thanks as ever regardless.

    Thanks! Yeah, it wasn't one I expected to clean up this nicely.

    That’s a stunner. Cant tell you anything about the brand but they don’t get much nicer than that. The female spring bars are always a pain (as not readily available everywhere)- I have one watch with them and found the bars at esslinger.
