Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

What country is the Metro brand made for? I see it's Swiss made, but that doesn't mean it's for the Swiss. The Swiss make watches for all kinds of countries. I haven't actually seen a Metro before, but I have a long way to go learning about vintage watches.

Metro is an old Swiss brand. Like many other watch factories, it disappeared mainly during the quartz crisis of 197x. The Swiss make watches for the whole world. It is a watchmaking powerhouse.

So you can hand paint on luminescence. I stand corrected. My A-11 watches no longer glow. My watchmaker still makes jokes that having an A-11 watch will give you radiation poisoning, but they obviously stopped emitting a long time ago. I did see a documentary where in the factory women would paint on radium and they would lick the brushes to make them come to a fine point to do detail. They did this so much that their teeth started falling out and they had holes in their bones and their hair fell out etc. Until I guess they died. Sad, but they didn't know at the time.
