HELP! (Pryngeps) Can not find any info on this model and not much on the Maker


Recommended Posts

Many Swiss brands were, and still are, nothing more that a print on the dial which was convenient for mass production. If you take picture the movn't you can get to know a little more about that, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary for aspect either.

Seen a lot of pryngeps watches . Both chronograph and cheaper pin lever divers . There is also some quartz watches around . Don't know anything about name pryngeps but the check mikrolisk and see if you can find any info.  Think it could be a name just like any other brand. Here is a Chronopraph i found on a Swedish watch forum .

I posted a picture of the movement, is it not visible. let me know im very new here

Right on Roger. Pesseux 320 is a true work horse. Used in countless brands.

If you got a good dial and stainless steel case, you will be passing this patremony to your son forty five years from this date.

Best

This watch was bought at a thrift shop many years ago and I can tell you it keeps amazing time and winds super smooth. I have not had to service it at all.

That winds and runs good is not an indication that servicing can be neglected. Since after various decades all the oil is gone, friction is all on metal of the pivots which wears out and cannot be restored. That leads to a very expensive service or repair at a later time.

Couldn't agree more. All of my Peseux 3xx-driven watches run very accurately, but they have all been serviced and, OP, that's essential if yours is to be even just an occasional wearer. You may already know that yours has the "watchmakers' 4", shown as IIII, rather than IV, and usually thought to be in the interests of symmetry.

Regards.
