路I have been looking for a 1970's Valjoux 7734 watch for about
a year now. It's a quality movement that was used by Heuer, Breitling,
and Tudor. I just love the dial layout with date at 6. I am also attracted
to the fact there was a lot of boutique watch companies that popped
up during this time, so many it seems that anyone could start a watch
company. Lot's of funky dial designs and bold colors. I finally found one
that ticked all the boxes for me. It's near mint. The case, it's Huguenin Freres,
a Speedmaster case. The hour markers are the classic 70's raised blocks
with lume inserts. Bakelite bezel with lume triangle. Black, internal Tachy scale.
And the Orange Chrono hand reminiscent of the Tudor Monte Carlo,
Breitling Datora, and the Heuer Autavia. Roulette date wheel. 42mm w/o crown.
I got it out of France. The manufacturer, like lot's of these boutiques that popped
up, is one I've never heard of, nor could I find any info to speak of on.
