Well burnt!

From the position the hands must have been in for years I suspect it sat in a jewelry store display, either new or used , for quite some time.
The hands are in the classic position to frame the makers name in a V.

Is it restorable?
Hands and dial look to be basically intact.
The brand looks to start with an A. Can you read it?

It's a Alpina. And yes, it's just a crazed plexiglass. Dial and hands are very nice.

@Professor

Alpina was my first guess.

Crazy crazing! Enjoy this thread every time I visit... and often see references I've personally not run across before. Keep 'em coming. 👍

New pics.... this 32mm is very hard to take pictures of so I tried a few variants.

I was just thinking about radium- got this guy last week and was shocked at the fact that it still glows just from workbench light....and not dimly mind you! It fades quickly, but holy crap! I can hear the sirens at NORAD going off.
