OK, Nicolas, if I must… Yes! This is a super cool absolutely gorgeous piece!!! (And I mean that.) Now… a question (or two).

The chronograph (stopwatch - early 1800s) was a real breakthrough on its own. Later, early 20th C., the tachometer scale was added, as timing of faster objects was sought. And mid-century, the rotating bezel. But when did the idea of a telemeter scale ari... 

A telemeter... I have something for you, then...

 
By: amanico : August 7th, 2019-10:24
I like the three of them: Tachy, Telemeter, and Pulsometer. ...  

Whoa… iS this bronze, or YG? And do you have a pic of the movement? (Assume it's much like yours??? [nt]

 
By: halgedahl : August 7th, 2019-11:13

Bronze Double split. Here is a picture of the movement.

...  

Oh, yes… I see that, that "grabber," "pincers" brake in the middle. What is the technical term (I should know it)? [nt]

 
By: halgedahl : August 7th, 2019-14:11

Double pliers. [nt]

 
By: amanico : August 7th, 2019-14:24

Ha! Good one. I'll look it up. [nt]

 
By: halgedahl : August 7th, 2019-17:42

I am a huge fan of this detail in manual winding split seconds movements. [nt]

 
By: amanico : August 7th, 2019-22:59

Are you familiar with Habring's? Not that his movements, or pieces (imho) are beautiful, per se. His style is plain and straightforward. But where the split is

 
By: halgedahl : August 8th, 2019-06:59
concerned, few watchmakers know more. ...  

Double pliers, as well, interesting and good watch, but what movement is it? 77xx? [nt]

 
By: amanico : August 8th, 2019-11:07

Their website lists it as A11R. [nt]

 
By: halgedahl : August 9th, 2019-08:18

Yes, but isn't the base an outsourced movement? Which is not bad, by the way... [nt]

 
By: amanico : August 9th, 2019-10:07

Ah, of course, will explore. [nt]

 
By: halgedahl : August 9th, 2019-12:25

Yes, please let me know, I am curious to see what you'll find. [nt]

At your service, dear Moderator...

From the Habring website…. Interesting, no? What's the story behind the A11? Starting 2007, all Habring² models have been based on the wheelwork of the ETA/Valjoux 7750/7760 (auto/manual wind). Due to the widely-publicised withdrawal by ETA in 2011 – and ... 

What I thought. Largely reworked from an ETA base. Thanks for taking the time to post it. [nt]
