1950s Pierre Chevelle Chronograph 'Venus Cal. 188'

$ 1,250

In the world of watches, for every household name like Rolex or Omega, there are droves of others that fly so far under the radar and were produced in such small numbers so long ago, that their stories have been mostly lost to time. According to the dearth of info we could find, Pierre Chevelle appears to be one of those brands

But a watch can be so much more than the name on the dial. And this piece, with its aged silver Heuer Carrera-esque dial layout and historic Venus cal. 188 movement beating away inside, certainly punches above its weight. Plus, it'll give you something to nerd out about as you dig through the depths of the internet looking for all the info you can find.

The case back features all factory markings fully intact with gentle wear and tooling marks present. The watch is supplied on a two-piece leather strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The original aged silver dial is incredibly clean with only the slightest mottling from age present in certain light. The lume plots above each hour marker have aged to a dark gray patina. The original lumed alpha hands have aged to an equally dark patina and match the dial perfectly.
