[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 1828299, member: 25"]The watch is a fairly primitive stop watch. The button is a sliding button and the base should be aligned with the case,not rotated. It has the effect of stopping the movement altogether, not a great idea for timekeeping, but it does allow the sweep seconds hand to be used with the other hands as a timer of sorts. The movement is very basic and in my opinion is Swiss.Period is late 19th C. It is key wound and set,from the rear using the holes in the inner cover.When new it probably looked a lot more expensive than it was. I hope this covers it.[/QUOTE]
