Belair Watch Co. has a pretty cool history. The owner, Eenest Grunwald, originally from Germany, moved to the U.S. and by the 1950’s was the U.S. distributor for brands such as CYMA and Enicar. In the early 60’s, he opened a movement factory in the Virgin Islands which helped create duty fee movements for American watches vs. buying Swiss. Based on the success and duty rules changing, he started selling complete watches under the Belair Watch Co. out of New York and eventually moved to the company to New Jersey. Belair remains in business today, producing branded and private label watches. The movement factory in St. Croix as still operational as well!

Cool U.S. manufactured 1960’s Belair Seapearl 600 - cal. PUW1363. The name Seapearl was supposedly licensed from Enicar btw!

Thanks for the history.
This kind of writing of insights about lesser known brands and manufacturers is what makes this hobby so interesting....endless depth for those who want a deep dive

New acquisition: a 1975ish Tissot-Meylan in the 815 case, powered by a Lemania 872. It's kissing-cousin to that rarest of Tissots, the 817 Military Navigator (civilian version of the Viggen & SAAF Lemanias). Strap suggestions welcome 👍
