Vintage 1950s Cimier Sport Swiss Chronostop Telemeter Watch Lapanouse 1 Jewel For Project Repair
For sale is a vintage 1950s-1960s Cimier Sport men's watch, a classic Swiss-made pseudo-chronograph (laptimer/chronostop). The watch features a striking black dial with telemeter and tachymeter scales. It is equipped with a mechanical manual-wind R. Lapanouse S.A. movement with 1 jewel. The watch is being sold in non-working condition for parts or a restoration project. The balance wheel is good and moves freely, which is a big advantage for this specific caliber. The case shows authentic vintage patina and age-appropriate wear on the chrome plating. The crystal has some light scratches that can be polished out. Please note that the central second hand is broken (only a fragment remains) and the small register hand is missing. This is a fantastic piece for a collector or a watchmaker looking for a rewarding restoration project.
Condition
Pre-owned, vintage non-working condition. The balance wheel is good and intact. The movement requires a full service, cleaning, and lubrication (prophylaxis). The central second hand is broken (short fragment left), and the small register hand is missing. The case has visible wear and loss of plating on the base metal bezel. The stainless steel caseback has a hand-engraved vintage inscription. Sold strictly as-is for parts, repair, or restoration.
