Handsome and practical, this technical watch is both beautifully styled and useful for making precise timing calculations. In the 1950s when this wristwatch was made, chronographs were increasingly prevalent alongside the rapid growth of the aviation and astronomical fields. Charles Gigandet and Wakmann partnered around this time to meet the demand, producing exquisite chronograph watches for everyday wear. This fine example from 1953 is set in a beautiful, warm yellow gold case that complements its classic gold markers and elegantly tapered hands. The sleek, sophisticated case houses a 17-jewel Swiss movement. Its face is classy and straightforward, exuding both precision and charm. A treasure for collectors and casual watch admirers alike!
