I located this when searching for a site that has ‘images’ or diagrams of all the Venus Chrono ebauche’s they sold. why? because I’m trying to locate
who made the ‘chrono’ ebauche for a Zais Watch Chronograph. there are ‘no’ hallmarks (or Movement Mfg mark located on the plates.
I have a number of Chronograph books and catalogs (I’m a watchmaker) that I’ve poured through
to identify ‘who’ made this 2 register chrono. so far, nothing.
do you have any reference links for chronographs? this one dates to the 30’s/40’s.

thanks
Bill

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have my grandfather’s Orfina chronograph, with the Venus 170 ticking away. I just had it serviced. It clocks in at +/- 30 seconds with the amplitude being 270+. The movement is factory decorated and is housed in a 18 carat yellow gold case. The watch and movement are in near new condition. It’s a keeper!

Thanks, Brad! Talking movements can be dry stuff so I’m glad it was well-received.
