·Hey guys! I received my new find today and I wanted to share it with the forum. It's a monopusher chronograph produced in the late 1930s with a (rare?) Landeron 13 movement. The brand is "GLORIA GENEVE" and the only information I found online about it is the following:
The watch is running and the chronograph function is working fine but it stops occasionally and probably needs to be cleaned and lubricated again. Hopefully, I'll find a good watchmaker at some point willing to service it (my watchmaker is not keen on servicing old Landeron chronographs due to the difficulty of finding parts).
From Pritchard, it appears that the Gloria/Gloria watch appears associated with Jean-Richard SA, Geneve, listed in 1951. Later Gloria Watch and Jean-Richard became Aquastar. An older company to use Gloria Watch was A Hammerly in La Chaux de Fond ... but the back of the watch is stamped Geneve..
