Not fair! Both Martin and I already said Fortis and that IS a Fortis Alarm Chrono.
Now the others. I've seen that red indicator before and can't quite place it............ |

Got it! I won't spoil the game but I'll just say there is a connection with Dunster in Somerset and with Fortis too funnily enough.
Now I need to work on the 1st picture with the crown close-up.............
Sad eh? |

Well I saw this on TZ-UK, and said I was coming from there, so might as well add it here! Quite nice as I'm only in Bristol for another couple of weeks...

Google informs me of the H for Harwood watch co?
Leaving M with a rallying connection. All I can think of is Mont Blanc and Mondain.. Neither of which (to my knowledge) have a connection..

Harwood is right (I believe) and the Dunster connection is that the descendant, either the son or grandson, of John Harwood , the inventor of the automatic watch movement, still runs a little watch shop there, selling Harwood and Fortis watches. A nice local connection. Not alot of people know that.
Still not sure about the one with the crown close-up though................ |
