History

In the year 1851, the watch-making industry was introduced to the small city of Grenchen Switzerland. Many famous watch companies were founded here and have helped make Grenchen an important part of today's Swiss watch business.

Titoni was founded by Fritz Schluep in 1919 in Grenchen and the company is still in the hands of the Schluep family. Titoni is one of the few remaining independent watch enterprises and has made a significant contribution to the history of watchmaking.

the style is typical of one from the 1960s era. i would suspect it to be of the eta 23XX series

best way to find out is to check under the balance wheel for hallmark and serial
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

good to know its still running

the serial might not mean anything since ive seen many vintage titonis with watch parts that are outsourced to 3rd party manufacturers, ie) movements to eta , case to star watch co etc.

u dont literally have to dismantle the watch , just open case back and look under the balance wheel of the movement. if you need help can ask big e , hes our resident master watch modder :D
