Thanks Vitezi ,I think that's an advert I have seen ,frustrating .lol

 

Hernor does not seem to show up in the usual databases of swiss watch manufacturers. Most vintage examples that I can find online are from French sources, which leads me to think the brand may originate in that country. Where did you find yours?

Also, this link suggests the same (note comment about "eb suisse"):

Thanks again unfortunately the two links I have already stumbled on ,I two believe that it may be a French manufacturer .Its surprising and frustrating in the age of all things google not to be able to identify something !

The movement is signed CONTINENTAL TIME CO INC 17 JEWELS, FRANCE P75 (Lorsa P75):


Perhaps Hernor is a brand of the Continental Time Co., France.
