| Post subject: | Early Slide Rule Watches |
This watch came across my ebay trawl. A contemporary of the original chronomat, it is another take on the slide rule watch from the Forties.

It also seems as if Breitling might have been pipped to the post by a company called Mimo-Loga, who are credited with a slide rule watch a year earlier than Breitling. Attachment: mimologa1.jpg http://www.invenitetfecit.com/modeles/p ... nomat.html It looks as if the design goes back even further to a pocket watch slide rule.
