  • "Le Tandy" Automatic/Quartz movement..Self Charging.

      • Posted Jul 3, 2009 1:13 PM

      Hiya all,

      I know it's not a Timex, but I bought this watch out of curiosity & don't have a clue about its origins, Google leads me nowhere.
      Please, If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

      It is very attractive, the red inner circle has figures which I assume represent, amount of running time left, in the charge.
      When the upper crown button is pressed the second hand speeds forward about 15 secs.
      (After a good shaking to get the rotor moving first. 100 shakes =15 secs 200 shakes= 30 secs maximum)
      It then waits & continues, when the seconds that it sped forward by, have elapsed. Maximum running time seems to be about 11, 1/2 hours on a full charge. I can only guess at how it works, I can't see a battery but haven't fiddled with it. Must have a dynamo/capacitor, or something like that.
      1st. Photo face. 2nd. Back.
      Regards Richard.
