All I know is that is swiss made, 15 jewels, manual winding, movement calibre 592

I own a few corteberts myself. That's a nice one you picked up. Looks real clean.

Thanks mooster, this watch belongs to my grand father and my father too and thanks for the info, I would like to see pics of your watches

Cortebert lives on as the Perseo Watch Company in Italy. Last time I looked, they had a good history.

1940s looks like a good guess to me.

Not a lot to see actually. I've got some pre-World War I American pocket watches (some of which were my grandfathers' personal pieces). Also some 1940s and 1950s American wind-ups (Hamilton, Elgin, Bulova, Benrus, Gruen, Waltham). Time only, no complications. Just stuff my dad would have used. Unfortunately I don't have any of his watches.
My best piece was a Hamilton 992B that my maternal grandfather bought in 1950. I have given that one to my son-in-law and I hope my grandson gets it someday.
