Spectacular watch and spectacular research, to develop this chapter in Heuer's history. The numerals and the hands are beautiful, and the porcelain must be amazing to see.

I look forward to creating a section of OnTheDash for the "1930s Chronographs"!!

: This is a very old Heuer one pusher chronograph. I have identified
: it as a Ref. 351 C/B.

:
:

: I found this chronograph included in an offer to the Romanian
: Military Aviation Authority made by Mr. Josef Schneider, the
: Romania Heuer agent in the 1930s.
: Mr. Schneider made an offer for several different Heuer chronograph
: to the Romanian Military. Among them was this ref.number, the
: 351 C/B. Check out the exellent site:

: This is the first page of the original letter from Mr. Schneider to
: the Romanian Military dated 18th. December 1936.

: Heuer 1936 catalogue with the ref. 351 sendt from Mr. Schneider to
: the Romanian Military.

: This old Heuer has an porcelain dial and a hinged caseback just
: like a pocket watch. The movement is a early version of Valjoux
: 22, the Valjoux GH. The movement is rather big and the watch
: size is 40mm.

:
:

: The size is quite nice, almost as big as an automatic 1970s
: Autavia.

:
:

: The early narrow Heuer logo is just still visible on the old
: porcelain dial. Most of the Heuers from this periode had no logo
: on the dial.

:
:

: I think this big old chronograph looks very nice on a old stock
: open-end pigskin strap.

: The hunt for a very early Heuer chronograph has been long but
: fun.....
