I picked these up a couple of years back...both are not working....the stopwatch has no apparent name on it and I was able to include a photo of the movement-----the RENOWN pocket watch is without a crown so unfortunately I cannot open(properly that is)....I realize I must get a better camera! I have a couple of digitals that have served me well,however,I believe I require one that is better able to take a close- up(lens anyway)...I had to take these through a manifying glass as otherwise,the normal camera close-up,would be extremely blurry....apologies!!...thanks for any help

Sorry can't help much on these. As we are looking at the stopwatch movement, it looks relatively pedestrian. :-s
The Renown looks to be post 1920 but I can't say much more.
We do have some stopwatch collectors here who might be able to help.

It appears, like Ray suggested, that the Renown is post 1920 but it is pre WW2 for sure as well. The other one appears to be a WW2 era stop watch and the arrow on the back suggests a marking belonging to a British military unit of some sort.
