The Watch
This watch is rare in so many ways!! Let us start with the name: “Kronometer Stockholm”. The company “Kronometer Stockholm” was founded in 1933 and where in business until 1976. In the beginning of Kronometer Stockholms history they mostly handled the transactions for workwatches, stopwatches, labwatches, different watches for ships, pocket watches and chronograph-based watches for measuring time. But times changed and so did the companies focus, hence they switched to wristwatches which in late 1950s and 60s where their main business. Kronometer Stockholm chose to put even more focus on chronographs to the private market and opened their own shop on Roslagsgatan 9 in Stockholm during the 1960s. They mostly sold expensive pieces through their contract with Breitling. Many of these Chronographs both had Breitling and Kronometer Stockholm logo on their dials.
The watch that WOFS now can put out for sale is one of these given to its original owner in the 60's. The watch therefor only have had one owner before us and is in a magnificent and historical condition: 100% original and in an unpolished case!
