Hello All!

I wanted to open up a thread for people to share knowledge / advice on rare vintage time pieces. I will start with one that I am very curious about. Does anyone have information about the value of "school watches"?

It is labeled Technicum La Chaux de Fonds, and was produced by one of the students at the prestigious Technicum watch university in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. I believe it is from the early 1940's, based on style but the exact date is unconfirmed. It is a two tone chronograph in stainless steel with a Valjoux 23 movement in mint condition.

I've been unable to find much more information on this piece, but would love to hear any more informatiom you have on the piece, history, and potential value.

Thank you!

 

So you have it for sale, want to start a forum on these kind of watches (or do you mean 'thread') and you are asking those questions on a -although reasonably nice looking and a Valjoux calibre- watch on this Forum?
I am afraid you lost me somewhere after 'sale'.....

If you have it for sale, please be informed that you are only able to sell on OF after you have participated in the gathering of general knowledge, hence the rule: only able to sell stuff after you have posted 200 posts.

Hi Willem,

No, I am curious if anyone has more information about the piece that is shown as I cannot find much more online. I am actually looking to buy it, not sell.

The idea is that the community can get advice / share concerns on this thread. Do you have any thoughts?

Best,

Dear Racist @FullyWound,

That wasn't a solicitation to sell anything. I am curious about the history and provenance of a "school watch" from La Chaux de Fonds.

Don't worry I can teach you about reading comprehension another time. Think twice next time you speak racist remarks to anyone based on pure ignorance.

 

hehe why racist?

 

... OOOH i see! because your name is ahammad! and i mentioned mohammed... Jesus wept... I can't seem to do anything right in this forum lately! . https://omegaforums.net/threads/is-...ead-aka-fake-busters.43911/page-5#post-571970 ME> "can somebody PLEASE identify this watch so i can make a sensible offer these are "sellers" photographs... Please for the love of dear baby Moses, Buddha, Allah, and Christ Reborn... dont ask me to get you any more photos... it's like asking a hamster to explain quantum mechanics"

dont worry i use a variation of this expression quite frequently its non specific to you or your faith.. unless you are christian & muslim & a member of middle earth this was not very "specific" to you
