I have done some reading about this brand and see examples in Paul White's book.

Can anyone offer any insights on the brand in general and comments or issues with this example?

Thanks in advance

Bill

 

Some questions:
- Who's Paul White?
- If there's an Unver, is there an Oder? I mean, you can't have ying without yang.
- Is that the specific watch you're thinking of buying or are those just pics as an example?

 

Paul White published a huge 3 volume opus on virtually all chronographs over the last 100 yrs or so from every major brand to many that you've never heard of. Not a ton of technical detail, but lots of pics movements references published along side period adds, movie posters etc. Fascinating but also fascinatingly expensive.

Unver is a dead brand (has it been resurrected?) from the 20's 30's 40's I believe.

A few pop up from time to time for sale

Landron and Valjoux movement.

 

sorrym valjoux in the vulcan, not the Unver's

 

Some old info says that it was absorbed into UG when examples used Martel movments, others say no relationship. I can say that I'd buy the two in the above pic if I could!

 

Agreed LouS.
