Details
A Masterclass In Mid-Century Complication
In the landscape of mid-century watchmaking, Gallet stands as a giant of functional design and complex movements. The Multichron Triple Date Chronograph is a perfect example of their expertise. It packs a remarkable amount of information onto its dial with effortless balance, combining a full calendar with a chronograph in a classic steel case. This wasn't just a time-telling device, it was a wrist-worn instrument for pilots, doctors, and engineers who required precision. A watch like this represents the peak of mechanical utility before the quartz era.
The All-American Bracelet
This Multichron is paired with a period-correct J.B. Champion steel chain bracelet, adding a distinct layer of American-made history. J.B. Champion was a legendary US-based manufacturer known for producing bracelets for some of the most iconic watches of the era, including those worn by NASA astronauts. The pairing feels authentic and robust, elevating the watch from a simple Swiss import to a piece with a unique transatlantic character. It is a detail that speaks to how these watches were actually worn and accessorized in their time.
Immaculate From Case To Dial
This example is in excellent condition. The stainless steel case is sharp and well-defined, and the complex dial is exceptionally clean. For a watch of this age and with this many functions, finding one in such a high state of preservation is genuinely uncommon. All chronograph and calendar functions have been tested and work properly. The American-made J.B. Champion bracelet is in very good shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Thinking Man's Chronograph
This Gallet is for the collector who appreciates the mechanical depth and historical significance of a truly complicated watch. The daily ritual of winding the manual movement creates a bond between the owner and the machine, a direct connection to its intricate inner workings. It offers a level of complication and vintage charm that is hard to find, especially in this condition. It is a confident and intelligent choice that stands apart from more common sports models.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
