"In House Movements" Theme *LINK* Posted By: David Alstott Date: 1/4/06 22:02 GMT

In Response To: Too quiet in here, time to buzz the forum! (Chicagoland Chuck Maddox)

Three Beauties. I was wondering in regards to the electric if Lemania made those types of movement but concluded they did or you would have broken the theme of "In House Movements".

Well, to be 100% honest, it's quite possible that the Lemania quartz isn't an in-house movement, but I've never seen another firm use that one (although Omega had prototypes, they never sold any), and it would have been a first for Lemania...

When one thinks about it there just aren't many of them around at least in the middle of the pack. I own about 50 watches ranging up to 50+ years old. I can identify only one with an "In House Movement". It was pictured earlier today in the forum so I am getting great mileage out of that post.

Oh, you are incorrect my friend... I believe that you own at least one other In-House chronograph...

It's initials are E-O-G... It's movement is an Excelsior Park 40-68 which was a product of the firm who made the watch...

You also have to have some sort of Micro-Rotor chronograph, Heuer was part of the consortium that developed it, so I'd probably give that movement an in-house waiver...

Ok, now lets hear about all those other "In House Movements" we participants have.

I have to run... I'll post some more (Zenith's mainly) when I get the chance...
