Description
This is a vintage 1930s WW2-era Harman telemeter chronograph from the 1930s. These telemeter watches were used to time bombing missions. This is a very cool and small watch, measuring 28.5mm in a chrome-plated case with stainless steel back. The very fine-looking black dial with gilt printing and snail-trail telemeter scale is original. There is something fun about wearing a small watch such as this, as it draws eyes and creates a conversation. You can tell them Harman Watch Co. was founded in 1933 by Harry Friedman. Harman Watch Co. was located in the New York watch district at 2 West 46th Street. The company imported Swiss movements and cased and dialed their watches in New York. Harry’s son ran the business until the late 1950s. This movement was just cleaned and is running accurately and smoothly.
