1936 Catalog Shows This Chrono (with no "Heuer" Logo)
In Response To: Re: Portrait Session -- Reference 351 CB ()

I can confirm that it was common practice for the movements of this era (1920s and 1930s) to be unsigned.

This scan of a 1936 Heuer catalog shows this Reference 351 C/B, with no Heuer logo on the dial . . . the watch appears to be identical, in every respect (with the possible exception of the chronograph second hand and the crown).

It does make finding them a bit more of a challenge, but I am confident that Heuer made this one.

: Is this watch signed on the caseback? I find it odd that there are
: no logos or maker's marks ANYWHERE else.

: Not questioning legitimacy, just an observation. Was this common
: practice for the time?
