Lacorda

A restoration project, bought at a car boot sale.

Globa Sport

1960s sports watch with a pseudo-chronograph Swiss movement by R Lapanouse Ltd that was probably more for show than for use, and a simple circular slide-rule bezel. The Globa came from an internet auction on eBay.co.uk. It's not sophisticated and the one-jewel movement isn't the last word in precision design, but it's interesting and wearable. I've found a Cimier watch which looks almost identical: can anyone tell me which came first?

Zitura 'Compressor'

This early 1970s watch has a superb 'sunburst' dial that reminds me of a 1950s Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul guitar. The case is novel too, a gold plated 'Compressor' case which was only in production for a few years in the 1960s/70s and intended to be watertight - the caseback has a divers' helmet symbol. This watch uses the well-known ETA 2472 automatic movement - it winds itself as you wear it thanks to the action of a rotating weight inside. This came from internet watch dealers Timefactors.com.

Sekonda

A blue-faced dress watch, bought in an eBay auction.

'Breitling'

A 1960s chronograph with a Valjoux 7733 movement. The face bears a Breitling badge, but it's clearly been added later. On the back the watch has an inscription relating to Jim Clark's Indianapolis 500 win - but was that added later too?

Services Airman

A beautiful 1930s watch with a square face and domed crystal.
