Gallet & Cie has been around for so long that archeologists have probably dug up a fossilized Gallet clock right next to trilobites. Ok, that’s slightly exaggerated, but when a watchmaker has been around since 1466, it’s fair to say they know a thing or two about horology and watch making. Of the many watches produced by Gallet in the 20th century, the MultiChron chronographs are some of the most significant and collectible today. Although they are refined and stylish, they were initially intended as tool watches for military and industrial professionals. These Multichron pieces found use in aviation, motorsports, and military applications, as the easily readable dial, black Arabic numerals and colored outer scales allow for quick and precise reading. This particular two-register chronograph is in excellent condition throughout considering its age. This example features an aged silver dial with black 'Arabic' indices and a blued stee handset, 'pump' pushers, and multi-scale layout. Powered by a hand-cranking Venus movement and with perfect proportions for a vintage chronograph, this piece is clean, understated, and flat out cool. In terms of elegant design and horological prowess, this a watch that punches way above its weight class. Don't miss it!
