Vintage Camerer Cuss “Timewise” Stopwatch – Excelsior Park Cal. 1-66 – Working

Description

A high-quality vintage Swiss-made mechanical stopwatch retailed by Camerer Cuss, London, sold under their “Timewise” name and powered by an Excelsior Park movement.

This example is fitted with the Excelsior Park calibre 1-66, a robust and well-regarded stopwatch movement. The watch is in working order, winds smoothly, runs correctly, and the stopwatch functions operate as intended.

The rear of the case is neatly engraved “R.F. 3”, likely an original ownership or issue marking.
