Landeron 21 Description

The Landeron 21 is a very early and large (16 Ligne) manually wound chronograph movement from around 1925. Unlike the cam-lever system Landeron later became famous for, the Cal. 21 is a traditional column-wheel chronograph. It is also a mono-pusher, with a single button used to cycle through the start, stop, and reset functions. This caliber represents an important and high-quality early chapter for the famed chronograph maker.
