No -- Each Brand's Movements Should Be Signed by the Brand
In Response To: Did Heuer/Breitling/Hamilton use each others signed Cal 11s? ()

In my experience, the movement in each brand's chronographs should be signed with the name of that brand. So Breitling Chrono-Matic should have movement marked "Breitling".

: early '70s. The watch has a Hamilton-signed caliber 11 movement.
: I know that the caliber 11 was a joint venture for Breitling,
: Heuer, and Hamilton, but did they use each others signed
: movements in their watches?

: Thanks,
