Swiss Made - Brazilian brand
In Response To: Friday - Watch you're wearing?? ()

HORASA (from portuguese, something like HOURSINC) was the main dash instruments manufacturer (including dash clocks) for the Brazilian automotive industry during the 60's & 70's. Their facilities, founded in the 20's, also assembled ESKA clocks, timers and watches - made in Brazil from Swiss parts.

This one is somewhat different. It is Swiss made and has the Brazilian brand on the dial. I'm still to find what factory has produced it...

Happy friday, mates!
