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 there 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, while others displayed the Kronometer Stockholm logo exclusively.
