Collector Commentary

This rare vintage chronograph wristwatch, featuring the esteemed Cal.

Valjoux 84 movement, exemplifies the craftsmanship of 1940s Japanese watchmaking, particularly as it incorporates the sophisticated monopusher rattrapante function.

The "T.

Buhre" signature adds to its desirability, linking it to a history of quality production in timepieces that appeal to both vintage collectors and horology enthusiasts.

Given the limited appearances of such timepieces on the market, coupled with in-demand features like the Hermetico waterproof case and black mirror dial, this watch is positioned well within the competitive Japan collector's market, where prices often reflect the rarity and functional condition of such antique models.

Collectors will appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its historical significance and functionality.
