  Thank you  for the  reply. I don’t know where you are from, so maybe you don’t have any watchmaker contacts that you trust will give it a good general service in my area. I am living in Luxembourg, and I would be willing to cross the border into France, Belgium and Germany if you happen to know reliable watchmakers there?

  I think it is quite difficult to find a watchmaker that can service such an old watch correctly, or am I mistaken?

  Best regards,

  Hello,

  thank you so much for the information, this all makes sense! It belonged to my grandfather, who owned a factory producing clothing. He lived (sadly he passed away, that’s why I inherited it) in Luxembourg, like I do, so it makes sense he would have a watch bought in France, or even sold in Luxembourg from the french market.

  He probably used it to time the duration that his employees needed to produce an article, so he could give appropriate estimates to his clients on how much clothes he would be able to deliver per week/month.

  I managed to get the watch working again by the way, the crown was wound up to the maximum, but there was a little room for turning it further before feeling resistance. While keeping it in that position and starting the timer, it worked again!

  For future reference, since I intend to keep this watch as a reminder to my grandfather, should I leave it completely unwound if I store it for months? Or should I take it out once a week or every two weeks , wind it up a bit and let it run for 30 mins for example?

  I would be really devastated if I ended up breaking it by not giving it the care it needs.

  Once again, thank you so much for your help!

  Best regards,

  Max
