TEMPO watch swiss made


Recommended Posts

Hi to all .

Yesterday I bought a 'TEMPO' brand watch for the ridiculous sum of $ 2 in a garage sale. This watch has a movement 25 Jewels swiss made automatic. ETA 2789-1 And she has her original metal bracelet. As I know these are quality movements without having a lot of inscriptions on the movement (At least, that's what I think), I do not know what year this watch was made and by what company. Would there be a member who knows, and the mark and the approximate year of manufacture of this movement and the watch? thank you and sorry for the bad pictures

If you need to look up watch names the following site is very useful :

Tempo as a watch name was first registered in 1904 and a lot of pocket watches turn up with the name on the dial as is the case with many of these names the companies who make them are bought up and change ownership and the name is then registered to the new company your watch is typical in style to watches produced in the late 60's to mid 70's. Using the site above will allow you to work out who owned the company in that period, the name is still in use today.

    • Hi Vandan. Hi from a fellow newbie! Marshall has got a lot to answer for hasn't he! 😄. I also got hooked to this hobby after watching his videos.  Good luck with your journey to service your Grandfather's watch.   Nick 
    • Hi all, I have a lovely Favre-Lueba dress watch from late 70s/early 80s in a stainless steel case.  Its an unusual curved rectangular case and crystal.  I'm wondering if there's any possibility I might be able to buy/find a replacement crystal for this watch.  The base of the crystal is also curved to match the case, rather than flat.  I'm looking at the Cousins website page here https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/rectsq-rounded-corners-one-side-curved-bezel-sternkreuz-rzr but not sure if I'm looking for the correct type.  In my case its a rectanglular crystal with rounded corners, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the crystal are curved.   Update - OK I now think I know what I'm looking for, but Cousins don't stock the size I need :-).  I think I need a Sternkruez RZ 315x220R9, acrylic, cylindrically domed with rounded corners.  Any tips or alternate sources for this source of crystal. Many thanks
    • Getting more interesting this post, innit? Mikeplilk, Waggy. Impressed with your efforts. Makes mine look amateurish. Hey, that's what I am. Still, I have good results with the 'frog'. Apprentice test piece. Paper is from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234602659940?var=534248554534   I am aware that the more I delve into the DIY, the more I am gaining understanding of watchmaking. Well, a little each time. Ross
