An attractive and increasingly scarce Swiss-made pocket chronograph dating from the early twentieth century, housed in a quality Dennison "Moon" gold-filled case and featuring a beautiful white enamel tachymeter dial with Roman numerals, central chronograph seconds hand and 30-minute chronograph register.This is a genuine mechanical chronograph pocket watch fitted with a high-grade Swiss column-wheel chronograph movement, the traditional and highly regarded system used in quality chronographs before the widespread adoption of cam-operated mechanisms. The movement displays excellent finishing throughout and remains a pleasure to operate.The watch features a tachymeter scale calibrated for quarter-mile measurements, reflecting its original purpose as a timing instrument during an era when motor racing, horse racing and sporting events increasingly relied upon accurate portable timing devices.In May 2026 the watch underwent a comprehensive professional service, the work included complete movement inspection, cleaning, lubrication, demagnetisation, adjustment and testing. During the service a new mainspring was fitted, upper balance cap jewels were replaced and the chronograph mechanism was repaired and restored to full working order.Following a service, the watch produced impressive timegrapher readings of approximately:• Rate: +4 seconds per day• Amplitude: 294°• Beat Error: 0.1msThese figures indicate a movement in exceptionally healthy mechanical condition for a chronograph of this age.The enamel dial presents beautifully with crisp Roman numerals, attractive blued steel hands and an uncommon red tachymeter scale around the outer track. The Dennison "Moon" gold-filled case remains in very good condition with honest signs of age and use consistent with a watch now well over a century old.A wonderful opportunity to acquire a fully serviced Swiss column-wheel chronograph pocket watch with excellent mechanical performance, attractive period styling and strong collector appeal.Swiss Made quality, reflecting the traditional standards of Swiss watchmaking in precision, craftsmanship and reliability.Technical DetailsYear: c.1905–1915Serial No: 49512Case Serial: 414523Calibre: Swiss Column Wheel ChronographMovement: Manual Wind ChronographCase Size: Approx. 52mm (excluding crown)Material: Dennison Moon Gold Filled CaseDial: White Enamel Dial with Roman Numerals and Red Tachymeter ScaleChronograph: Central Chronograph Seconds and 30-Minute RegisterCrystal: GlassService: Fully serviced May 2026Extra: Service invoice includedCase Engraving: GGMCondition: Recently serviced and running strongly.
