For your consideration I offer a very nice one-buttonchronograph WW1 era military watch.

Most likely artillery, possibly bomber or navaldesignation.

In military parlance telemeter has the specificmeaning of a device for finding the range of a target.

What is a telemeter chronograph?

The telemeter chronograph is a feature of awristwatch, which allows the user to approximately measure the distance to anevent that can be both seen and heard (e.g. a naval or artillery gunfire of theflash of an exploding bomb or a torpedo strike) using the speed of sound. Theuser starts the chronograph (stopwatch) at the instant the event is seen, andstops timing at the instant the event is heard. The seconds hand will point tothe distance measured on a scale, usually around the edge of the face. Thescale can be defined in any unit of distance, but miles or kilometers are mostpractical and commonplace. This watch indicates Kilometers and is capable tomeasuring distance up to 20 Kilometers.

Watch works fine. It has just been freshlyserviced by a reputable and highly qualified European master watchmaker.

It is a Super-Rare 1-button chrono with abeautiful porcelain face.

Movement is mechanical, manual wind.
