Any ideas?

This might just be a Valjoux 22 or early 23 ...

Looks to be a variation on the Valjoux 23 VZ single button chronograph.....

I vaguely remember that style of chronograph bridge on a late Valjoux 22, and then there is that quirky clutch spring also on the 22 but made a short revival on the 71..
Hard to say but think it has one start/stop and one reset button so no monopusher.

Here is a comparison from the old books. Looks quite like.
To be certain one still need to know the exact Ligne and how it looks on the dial side.
But if you are not used to work with chronographs I recommend to investigate which of the 22,71 or 84 versions this is when one feels comfortable working on it.
