Does anyone have any information on the Swiss watchmaker CORESA. The timepiece in question is a chronograph wristwatch made around 1950 in 18k gold. Curiously, it is almost impossible to find any information ot the brand. I have only found one other piece in an auction in Germany. | ||

I too have found it difficult to obtain information about Coresa. One was sold at auction last year for �190 - Silvered dial & 2 secondary hands. ( image - brown strap) There are some about. I've seen them on web sites etc  | ||

I have an Egona Swiss chronograph that I can not find any info on, but from searching the net, it looks to me that there were a bunch of watches made with different brand names, Like Egona, Erzer, Coresa. they are all 37.5mm case diameter, usually 18k gold case and have Landeron 17 Rubis Mechanical movements! I would love to know who manufactured these watches and under what other names and when they were made? Are they rare or collectable? Someone must know, Thanks!  | ||

These all looks like "chronogaph Suisse" chronos. Very thin 18k cases with brass dust cover, marketed under 30-40 different names. Most had Landeron based movements, some had Venus. |
