Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a certificate of origin from the Deutsches Uhrenmuseum, Glashütte confirming the date of sale on 3rd March 1910 to Schwarz & Steiner, Wien for 732.-M, and confirming the dial with kilometer division. The present lot is an excellent example of the watchmaker's later chronographs where the user activates the chronograph through a pusher to the case band as opposed to the crown.
