Anyone know about this?

Post by SethR » Tue Apr 20, 2021 5:53 am

Hey guys,

Anybody familiar with G.Monnin watches? I’m familiar with monnin cases and know that some older Heuer’s used a Monnin Valjoux movement, but I cannot find anything on the brand. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Seth

What movement is that? The escapement assembly with the regulator looks like it is Seiko, but everything else looks different to me unless it’s one of the newer SII movements based on one of the new Seiko movements. Or I could be completely wrong altogether.

Wow, yeah, that IS cool Seth ! :o

They evidently were a French case maker for Heuer right?! And it looks
like possibly Aquadive, and Zodiac also. But am looking around as we
speak, and can not find anything on watches from today like yours'.
Honestly, that is very cool becuase it seems super rare, or unique sir. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

By the way, have a link here where they talk a little about Monnin for
you here....
