·The brand name is surely 'Biondi'.
The Italians cannot pronounce Bl but Bi, not flori but fiori, not clara but chiara, not blanca but bianca...

·Eberhard and Co Mareoscope 32027
I've just bid and won a white dial 31024 version which is in the post to complete the set...😀
Love the colourful tide indicator discs on these watches.
Houses a Lemania 5190 cal which is unique to these two models.
Also a random name Valjoux 7734 chronograph with a colourful "rainbow" dial for good luck and to tick off that birth year watch urge.

·A 1969-production Chronomatic Cal 11 a few seconds after Lando Norris becomes F1 World Champion.
The Chronomatics (or chrono-matic as here) were the result of a collaboration between rival watch companies Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton-Buren to make an automatic chronograph in the late 1960s. The odd placement of the crown is because in the very limited time to get the watches into production against the competition from Seiko and Zenith it was the only way they could cram all the complications into the case.

I once was the proud owner of a ref. 31024 (a.k.a. Champion Mareoscope) before events forced me to sell my collection in the early 2010s and it is one of the watches I miss the most from that era.
Nowadays, I would probably aim for the rare blue-dialed ref. 32027 (a.k.a. Grande Croisiere Mareoscope) whose size would match better my lumberjack wrist.
