Looking for a chronograph with a bit of history and a whole lot of charm? This might just be the watch that ticks all the right boxes!

This 38mm steel chronograph is a testament to Swiss watchmaking heritage. Its two-tone cream dial features a central snail-shaped tachymeter scale, baton hands, applied indexes, and Arabic numerals marking the quarters. The Venus 150 column-wheel movement powers this timepiece, with both the case and movement individually numbered.

What makes this watch truly special is its dual signature: the dial proudly displays the names of Axa and La Gerbe d’Or Paris, reflecting a time when manufacturers and their loyal distributors collaborated closely. Such partnerships gave rise to double-signed dials, now highly sought after by collectors.

The case back is signed "Les Fils d'A. Nicolet," the workshop responsible for its production. Both Axa and Les Fils d'A. Nicolet were based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the historic heart of Swiss horology. With its multi-scale, multi-color "snail" dial, this chronograph offers not only functionality but a timeless style steeped in history.
