I am trying to work out who produced this dial, and my best guess is ZJ Fluckinger based on the initials. The only problem is that the J (which seems to be stylized to look like a spring) doesn't match the logo shown on Mikrolisk, and also it doesn't match any example that I can find online. Also is it at all possible to date it from either the reference number, or the style of the letter J ? Can anyone here help out ?
yes it is ZJ Flückiger. (They worked for Longines for example). The difference is that the Logo you showed is a late logo, your dial may be from 1930-40 (I would need to see the face to judge)
Wow a reply !!! I should have probably updated this as is eventually figured out what was going on. It was the back of the dial from my A&F seafarer, which in all likelihood was produced by Mido in around 1938 (based on the MultiChrono). Write up here if it’s of any interest. I wrote to Fluckiger but they couldn’t help as they didn’t have archive records from back then. http://www.onthedash.com/abercrombie-seafarer-first/ One thing that might be interesting, and you’ve just reminded me to check, is that I’ve subsequently bought some Multichrono parts and I’ve got a loose dial somewhere. I should check to see how it’s marked on the back.
