Owning a vintage watch is great, understanding its place in Horology is MAGNIFICENT!

I own a couple of early chronographs including this HEUER - it uses a Landeron movement, metal dial from the 20s? But my love on single button or 'mono-pusher' chronographs especially with a white enamel dial and the red centre 'tachymeter' scale - so I bough this: 1920s SABINA ‘Monopoussoir’ ChronographI can only find a tiny history of the company, and hope someone can identify the movement? History: Mathez, Paul-Virgile, SA, Montres – SABINA, Tramelan-Dessus Virgile Mathey registered the ‘VM’ trade mark in 1888. Offered high and good standard quality timepieces. Here is the watch: If anyone can help on movement - greatly appreciated adam

It's certainly a beauty!
While white dials do not look well on me, I always loved vintage white chronos with red markings.
It looks fantastic.
