Le chronographe de poche Suisse (The Swiss Pocket Chronograph)

Extract from the preface

Over 200 houses are mentioned in the following pages. Some 80 are presented in detail. But what makes this book so interesting, apart from the fact that it is the first ever inventory of Swiss pocket chronographs, is the number of illustrations it contains: around 800, including almost 500 caliber reproductions. It is thanks to the latter and the details they abound in that collectors will be able to compare the movement of their piece with the one that most resembles it, offering them the possibility of estimating its approximate age and knowing its true provenance.

Chronométrophilia warmly thanks Joël Pynson, a great specialist in the field, for agreeing to write the main part of this anniversary book, and wishes its members, as well as all those who will buy it, as much pleasure in reading it as the undersigned had in collaborating on it.
