Note du spécialiste

With large-size 36 mm. “waterproof” stainless steel case and black pulsometer dial this great looking vintage antimagnetic chronograph exudes understated style. Little known today, the Moeris watch company were once a greatly respected and innovative firm. Founded by Fritz Moeri and Julius Frederic Jeanneret in Saint Imier in 1883, the company was amongst the first to make chronograph movements for wristwatches in 1910 and were instrumental in the development of Invar for balance springs. Moeris was absorbed by Tissot in 1970.
