Just bought a few watches tonight (21 to be precise)
One that took my fancy was a Pierpont Chrono, with an amazing movement!
So can anyone tell me anything about the brand or the watch?

Saw that one skip, its VERY similar, however the chrono buttons on mine are round not square and the face is a little different, however if it IS the same then at £40 it was a good buy against the $400 of the one on that site

Being a chrono nut, I'm very interested in your find. However, please try to post some better pics!

From the configuration it looks like either a Landeron 248 or Valjoux 7733 movement.

Enjoy!

Aha!

That chrono looks like a Landeron 149.

Pretty fine movement!
