hello to all members, I have done some research online but I can't get info about the manufacturer of this exceptional movement, the quality and finishes of this movement are amazing. My watch maker has a small brochure with all the hallmarks of each brand but we couldn't find the one stamped on this movement.
Hope some one can help.
thanks,
David

Afaik the cross mark is Brevet, Brevet 31798 gives some results.

thanks for the input, now I should find out the caliber reference. I don't see any inscription on the movement a part of the one I already shared .
Also searching online I found out that it's chronograph with minute register and instant jumping minute hand, which is a rare complication

what are your thoughts on leaving an open casebook ? sure is not the original and traditional way but in my opinion is very sexy

I asked a similar question in my Rusty Heuer thread. I am thinking that display backs really show off these old movements. This one has a really nice finish on it. Of course one needs some protection of the movement as the least amount of dust will cause problems down the road.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I agree that protecting the movement is very important even do this beauty won’t be a daily wear watch

I recently had a minute repeater chronograph of the same brand, but unfortunately with a fused case. And mine had the patent 13247 marked under the dial

Is it reasonable to ask for a photo of the movement?
