24. A
new-old-stock c. 1960s Breitling doctor's wristwatch chronometer with
pulse scale. To determine a pulse one would start the chronograph,
count 15 pulsations, stop the chronograph, and a special dial ring allows
one to directly read the number of pulsations per minute. While
a large watch, it is not bulky due to the composite material case. This
high quality intage doctor's watch has never been worn and it is in excellent
working order, the mechanical Valjoux 7730 movement having been recently
cleaned and oiled. James Bond wears a similar Breitling two-register
chronometer in the 1965 movie Thunderball. SOLD |

84. A fine example of an antique doctor's watch with pulsations dial and
chronograph functions. The c. 1952 movement, case, and dial are signed UNVER,
which is a trademark of the watchmaker Universal Genève. To determine a
pulse one would start the chronograph, count 30 pulsations, stop the
chronograph, and a special dial allows one to directly read the number of
pulsations per minute. All functions are in proper working order. SOLD

and high quality
c. 1940s antique doctor's watch by Girard-Perregaux. The two-tone
pulsation dial is in superb original condition, and the chronometer
movement and case are signed. The teardrop lugs are most
attractive and very '40s. To determine a pulse,
one would start the chronograph, count 30 pulsations, stop the
chronograph, and a special dial allows one to directly read the number
of pulsations per minute. All functions are in proper working
order. SOLD
