Vintage Mystery - Union Ancre
Can anyone share some light on this little 33mm gem? All I can find is that Union was a brand used by a Dutch trading house Henri Julliet. Movement Swiss and case probably from France or Germany. 1970s. Ancre (Anchor) denotes the lever escapement. House brand watch if you will. This one is almost NOS and an accurate manual piece. Very little info on the brand.

Well, there isn't a lot on the ole' internet, that's for sure. Henri Julien was importing whole Yema watches and branding them in the 1970's. I would bet your watch is 1960's based on styling and size. Good luck with the information search. Post a picture of the movement if you can and the movement folks can tell you what's under the hood.

I knew I got the spelling wrong! Henri Julien. It could well be 1960s. Pic of the movement below. Thanks!

I get spelling and grammar wrong all of the time. That's what I use the edit feature for, to make me look smarter.
