I don\'t know much about chronometers but the history of this one could be very unique. During WWII there was a secret laboratory in a secret town working on a secret project. It was called \"The Manhatten Project\" in Los Alamos, NM. I came by it through a sale at the laboratory. What division or what they used it for I don\'t know but it\'s probablly the only one with this kind of history and price will reflect this.
It will be shipped double boxed with insurance.
Good Luck!!!
