These watches are part of a stock of timekeepers, made in
Germany by Stowa (Walther Storz Co.) which were
requisitioned by the French Government at the end of WWII, as
war damage compensation. They were then marked "Armee
Franfaise". These watches were very well-constructed with a
Laco-Durowe movement.
