800 silver men's pocket watch, column wheel chronograph, doctor's watch, circa 1940, tachymeter

An artifact of museum-quality horological history, an early solid 0.800 silver doctor's column-wheel chronograph with (or without...) central seconds and circumferential tachymeter scale.

Attention: The small hand on the minute counter at the top, which appears to be missing in the pictures, is – as can be seen in the pictures – still under the crystal; it simply needs to be reattached. The central seconds hand for the chronograph function is missing and must be replaced, which is a simple task for any watchmaker.

Case diameter: 48mm, unrestored, flawless white dial, inner 12-hour display with Arabic numerals, outer tachymeter scale in black/red, crown winding, snap-on case back with inner movement protection cover, crest cartouche clear

The rare and sought-after artifact of a sterling silver "Doctor's Watch" runs – as does the (non-existent) central seconds hand – and continues to run (accuracy not tested).

EZ: 2 - good collector's condition with few visible signs of age and use, unrestored, flawless dial, lid closes flush, runs and starts. Currently, the small minute hand is loose and the central second hand is missing.
