Hi Dan - you're right - the old thread was wobbling along for pages!

Well, since we last talked about these things, I bought myself a modern automatic by Christopher Ward - from the "not quite new" shelf - which has a black titanium casing and is very comfortable. An everyday watch.

My latest beauty is a LeCoultre from 1956 - lovely face and movement and in perfect condition.

LeCoultre movement

LeCoultre was a Swiss firm which, like Wittnauer, exported their movements to the US, where they were cased and timed. The ones sold in Europe were sold as "Jaeger LeCoultre". They also made movements for Vacherin & Constantin.
