Help me identify this watch please!
Hi hive mind. I have this watch here and I cannot find anything about it online other than it uses an ETA 955.114 quartz movement. The brand is clearly visible but I have searched for Ticard, Tilard, Ticarol and Tilarol and nothing. Am I misreading the logo? I think the watch dates to the 90s.

I think that you are right about the "t", definitely about the "i". I think the third letter is a capitol "C", then an "a" and an "r". The last letter may be a "d" or an "l". And you have tried each combination, and so have I. I am flummoxed.
I searched for different variations of the logo and also the logo itself on the Google image search engine, but I couldn't find anything either. It could be that the company no longer exists, but I would be more inclined to think that someone just modified it with the name and logo, because if you notice below the logo at six o'clock there is a dot above it, it is quite possible that they made a mistake as they touched there with a brush. Well, I'm curious about the comments as well, if by any chance someone does recognize this watch. Its looking very good, it would be nice to know what they are
@Aurelian @martin1111 Thank you both for trying. It's appreciated. I have just removed the movement and dial from the case to see if I can get a better look.

Sadly not. You may well be right in thinking it is a self build.

If it is a self-build, you at least have the satisfaction in knowing that it is a one-of-a-kind piece. A nice thing to have in any collection. 😎

Took the words right from my finger tips! Enjoy your one of one Jamie!
Been trying to find info on this for days now. Is the watch case made of titanium?
That would explain the 'ti' part.
Perhaps the watch makers name/surname is Carol, making this the

The Q or possibly Q2 could actually be the model name.
The . Doesn't look like a mistake to me given that it falls exactly on the axis between 12 and 6

The case feels too heavy to be Titanium to me, I think it is stainless steel. I am firmly of the opinion that it is a self build but I could of course be very wrong. Thank you for looking, and sorry if it has given you a headache!

Also regarding the dot and the Q, I think they add further weight to the possibility of it neing a self build. It seems to me that the person may have originally intended to place the Q there but changed their mind, and if you notice, the Q is just off centre. It is most definitely a painted rather than printed dial.
Yeah, I've given up hope of finding an answer. Still it's a beautiful piece even if you don't know its history.
