Even though they’re extremely collectible, Pierce chronographs aren’t that rare. However, a triple-signed version featuring the almighty caliber 134 and its original 4-in-1 box is unheard of. The watch also includes what seems to be the original leather strap and crystal. The first Pierce chronograph was developed in 1936/37, featuring a monopusher design and an in-house column wheel movement, the caliber 130. In 1939, Pierce launched the caliber 134 and developed a more durable case (post-1939 cases are usually pristine compared to older examples). The 134 was operated via two pushers, often called up/down because of their reverse configuration. This watch matches the cases produced between 1939 and 1943. You might be wondering – where is the triple signature? If you notice the dial, it says “Swiss Made” not once, not twice, but three times. At first, I assumed it was a redial, but eventually found two other [examples featuring the same signature](https://imgur.com/a/EMm8wOy) and font. It was likely made this way because of importation laws. Speaking of weird things, I also noticed this chronograph is non-lumed, whereas [most examples online were lumed](https://imgur.com/a/h2idntI). Could that be the definitive proof it’s a redial? Not so fast! I found a vintage watch ad that shows the watch in the [exact same non-lumed configuration](https://imgur.com/a/ONNs2GI), with matching handset. The example you see here was most likely shipped to the UK, given the fact that Pierce was the British Military’s largest watch supplier in the 40s. The tachometer scale is also in miles, further adding to my reasoning. Wait, wait, wait – what about the box? Oh yeah, that’s what makes this one of the rarest Pierce chronographs you’ve ever seen. According to my research, there are only a handful of pictures of this box online. I also couldn’t find any sales featuring the elusive Pierce 4-in-1 box (Pierce chronographs were marketed as [4-in-1 watches](https://imgur.com/a/iBePK7d) – Tachometer, Stop Watch, Telemeter and Timekeeper). Now that I’m done explaining what makes this a rare Pierce chronograph (and convincing you to buy it), let’s get into the details. **Details & More** **Condition:** Good. Some usage marks, but nothing serious. The case was likely polished in the past. See the pictures for more details. **Case size:** 33.5 x 39.5mm **Movement:** Pierce column wheel chronograph caliber 134. The reset function isn’t working too well, so it could use a service. **Other information:** * Includes a short and weathered Bund strap (likely the original strap). * Includes what seems to be the original crystal. * Comes with Pierce’s rare 4-in-1 box. * Also comes with a period-correct military strap. **Price:** Most examples in similar condition (but without box or accessories) are priced at between $1,500 and $2,500. However, given the fact that the watch could use a service, I am pricing this at **$1,025**. Please add $80 for worldwide shipping via UPS.
