Hi Tom -here I am Smile

I am happy that the maker of the watch put a logo on :

Dodane freres; Morteau; France. Dodane freres were the second generation of the Dodane watchmaker dynasty. The manufacture was founded 1857 and Dodane (5th gen.)is still (after shutdown in 1995) making watches (military chronographs and aircraft panel watches). Your watch was likely made in the 20's.

A short history of Dodane

The watch has a tachymeter dial: If you start the timer at begin and stop at the end of a 1 kilometer distance it shows the speed in kilometers per hour.

Regards
Gerald

Tom: This movement looks like it started life as a 19 Lig. Valjoux S.A, maybe a #5
