Grana Split Seconds Chronograph Venus 175, 38 mm case.
I am following some Grana watches, these last years, especially the famous WWW, which is the rarest among the " Dirty Dozen " WWW.
I didn't know that Grana made a Split Seconds Chronograph.
This one has just been auctioned, today, and went for a bi more than twice the high estimate... CHF 86500!
Will we still have some watches to hunt? 
Best,
Nicolas

This is of interest.
Although somewhat less so than before the auction.:-0 Is this watch from the 30s? Didn't the name "Certina" take its place? The picture you posted suggests the watch is in excellent shape.
I think Grana became Certina, but way back in the 30s or 40s.
This watch does not look that old.
Be careful with those results Nicolas ;)
all are far very far from the market price... what is going on there is ... questionnable to say the least. Francois
Nice but...
86K? No matter how rare or nice... I can't appreciate it that much. I think because--back in these days, weren't they all Valjoux based? So... it's sort of like a current IWC 7750 based split... wonderful, love it! But... pedestrian in a way, no? Even if ...
This is the kind of watch you can pick up at a flea market for € 5,-
I never visit flea markets though.....maybe I should start doing so ;-)
