Another watch that I got today. I don't know much about it, but I thought that it was an interesting watch. It is a wind-up watch with a stop watch function. There is no information on the case; it looks like it was possibly buffed off. I think that this is a watch from the late 40's or early 50's.

I have found a couple of pics similar to your watch, maybe these will help someone to indentify it ?

I was actually thinking that sort of looked like a Valjoux 72 (the only of those early ones I've seen) except for the upper half of the movement, that would make sense. Very cool, although I've still never heard of Harman.

It seems to run fine. It ran for about 26 hours on a wind-up and looks like it keeps pretty good time.
