Hello,

Hopefully you can give me some indication of the value of my 1920's Chronograph. They told me that Numa-Emile Descombes and Ulysse Georges Perret jointly founded in 1894 in Le Locle Universal Geneve. The company supplied in their early years movements to other companies. These companies made their own watches with universal movements.
This is what I know:
* enamel dial
* 30 min. counter
* auxiliary seconds
* polychrome, red tachy- and telemeter scales
* good condition

Movement
* caliber Universal 16"
* 3/4 plate movement
* 17 jewels
* gilt
* ground chronograph steel parts
* ratchet wheel
* screw balance
* Breguet balance-spring
* the movement is functional and running well

Case
* silver
* case no.55190
* three-body
* push back
* diameter ca. 42mm without crown
* lenght ca. 42mm
