- Landeron used by Rolex!!! Here's what this seller says: WITTNAUER GENEVE VINTAGE PROFESSIONAL CHRONOGRAPH WATCH / USED BY ROLEX IN COSMOGRAPH PAUL NEWMAN DAYTONA WATCH. Item number: 260147713835
"A very unique time piece with a movement used by Rolex in their early Paul Newman Daytona Cosmograph."
I think this happened around the same time that pigs flew.
Seller is:universalwatchhouston - like to tell those TALL TEXAS BS stories. Craig

Hi Chrono, I am always suprised when I find out which great mark uses this or that movement. I dont't know much about Rolex, although I have several. But as a collector of watches I think Rolex used several manufacturers to bring chronograph's to market - Valjoux, Zenith, and I may remember Landeron? I think it was only recently that they made a complication of their own. ??
As you know, there really are very few true manufacturers. Rolex was never a pioneer in any complication.
