Today, I went back to Private Eyes to get a Watch they repaired for me and to pick up something that caught my attention during my last visit.
Anyway, here it is - my Anonymous Valjoux 23 from the late 1930s to early 1940s. Beautiful combo of silver markers and hands on a black dial, stepped case (super sharp) and onion crown This will be one of my most special watches for many reasons - it comes from my friends at Private Eyes and from Endo-san’s favorite era in watchmaking.

That’s really nice, what a pro Endo is.
Do you mind sharing a little about these anonymous chronos that seem to be prevalent in Japan... is there much known about them?
