Description from the seller
For collectors and purists of vintage watchmaking, I offer a splendid Lemania "Olimpionico" pocket chronometer dating from the 1950s/60s, a witness to the golden era of Swiss sports timing.
Lemania had for decades been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games and this piece embodies all its technical tradition.
"Olimpionico" Box and Internal History: Supplied with its original vintage box stamped with its fabric cord. A marvelous collectible gem: inside the lid is the vintage handwritten personalization of the era's original timekeeper (Socrate Paganelli, Viale A. Lincoln, Bologna). A touch of pure storytelling that makes the piece unique.
Excellent condition and perfectly functioning.
