    Hello guys,

    I got this baby a while ago and i'm liking it so far. The bright orange dial gives it so much character. ::love::
    Cronel appears to be an obscure brand so i couln't find any useful information online, but this watch intrigues me nonetheless.
    The inner caseback is stamped " Stroun Bros LTD, Swiss " so i suspect it may be the casemaker's signature.

    I would really appreciate any infos regarding the history of the brand, some insights on Stroun brothers and if possible help me identify the movement too. :)

    Cheers!

    EB 8021. Very common pin lever movement.

    I think that Cronel was a trademark of CAMY watches. Still a fairly obscure name.
