This Baume and Mercier vintage chronograph is meticulously restored. Clearly this was an abused timepiece, possibly used for parts because various pieces were missing. Of course the balance staff was broken as well. The Swiss Landeron 48 movement was a popular choice for chronographs during the mid 20th century.
