Vintage TH Picard Fils Chronograph 39mm Gold-Plated Manual-Wind Watch

Item Details

This vintage TH Picard Fils chronograph embodies early 20th-century Swiss watchmaking with its 39mm gold-plated case and classic two-register Chronograph layout. The white enamel dial features bold Breguet-style numerals, intricate red telemeter and tachymeter scales, and blued steel spade hands. A column-wheel Valjoux 22 movement powers the watch, a highly regarded manual-wind Chronograph caliber known for its precision and smooth operation. Completing the look, an elegant onion crown and vintage-style pusher enhance its period-correct aesthetic. A rare and well-preserved timepiece for collectors of early chronographs.
