    Split seconds Column wheel Pocket Stopwatch chronograph?

    Kinda Olympic timer looking thing? anyone with any knowledge on these kinda things? seems very specific..

    Done a lot of hammering keywords into google can't find a movement match anyone know any good sources for stopwatches?

    Or better yet enthusiastically collects them and can just tell me what it is :thumbsup:

    google is a dick for this as all i get back is is split seconds chronograph wrist watches (that have appeared on hodinkee) that get 1000s of repins every week i think pinterest is breaking google?

    anyway here it is annoyingly UNMARKED with anything helpful

    yes =) operates beautifully but all it has REALLY done is made me want a split seconds chrono wrist watch more than ever!
    tho the pocket watch is cool to look at and play with it is a stopwatch and seems "use limited" so took some photos came to sell it... now i cant find it! and i like it again tho... i would like to find its A) date and B) movement manufacturer... Im guessing 40s but i still may be off...

    Heaps of information on stopwatches around :whistling: search about history of split second timers and stopwatches in general and they will lead you to the rabbit hole your after.

    I know is an old post ,but I think is a Valjoux 5 movement, some times used in some Heuer's models, judging by the crown maybe 50's 60's. Did you ever find it/ Sold it? If still with you I may be interested . What size case? Valjoux 5 are around 43 mm. But the case looks bigger.
