Rare Vintage Montilier Telefoot Monopusher Chrono-Stop
This Montilier Telefoot watch from the mid-1940’s is a Stop-in-flight watch.

The time scale at the periphery of the dial highlights the first forty-five minutes, recalling the half-time of the football matches. The movement is a Montilier caliber. The name TELEFOOT comes from TELEphone timer and FOOTball timer
