Airship chronometer by Lemania, c. 1935

An historic rarity in the form of an authentic airship chronometer, numbered 11295, and made by Lemania for mounting on the instrumentation panel of a Zeppelin gondola. Alfred Lugrin established his first workshop near Lake Léman in 1884 and Lemania was the trade name used by the Swiss timepiece makers, with a special competence in chronometers, from 1930.

This new old stock timepiece retains its original box and packaging, and is in unused, original condition. Swiss, circa 1935.

Diameter: 3½ inches (9 cms).
