Dear OF Members,

i found a nice and affordable watch at the local market place, with a brand i never heared of.
it has a wearable size of 34,5 mm, an interesting "false chronograph" complication, a nice dial and sharp looking case.

I wanted to do some research on the brand prior to purchase, but unfortunatelly there is not much information around.
maybe someone on the forum can point in the right direction?

thank you!

Mikrolisk records the wordmark "Numa" as being registered in March 1929 to the Numa Watch SA (Les Fils de Numa Gagnebin) of Tramelan-Dessus, Switzerland. The company apparently survived into the 1970s as suggested by this vintage advertisement:
