Why We Love This Watch

Wittnauer Watch Co. is an American based watch company that made a name for itself in the 1890s as an importer of Swiss pocket watches, such as Longines. An incredible bang for the buck, especially for the movement purists among you, and perfect for anyone who has a love affair with one of the great, truly classic chrono movements of all time: the Valjoux 72, which is also found in vintage Rolex chronographs such as the Reference 6234.
