Lot 398

Heuer, Movement No. 5146, Case No. 30891, 38 mm, circa 1935
A rare single button chronograph with 30 min. counter, blue tachy and telemeter scale

The earliest Heuer chronographs were pocket models and date back to circa 1880. This piece was made around 1930 and is one of the first wrist chronographs Heuer ever produced.
The present watch is an exquisitely aged chronograph with a very "masculine" size of 38 mm - a true beauty indeed.
