Heuer Pocket watch - Chronograph - C1950 - info please?

Hi there

I have newly rediscovered a Heuer pocket chronograph that I used to play with as a kid. It came from my father or possibly my grandfather.

If anyone could possibly shed some more light on this I would be most grateful. I believe it to be from around 1950, almost certainly bought in France as this is where we lived, other than that I only have a few numbers for you:

Inside the cover:
ED Heuer & Co.
Swiss

serial no 146546

On the movement:
Heuer logo
602300

And it still works fine!

It does have a crease on the rear cover so wondered if anyone could recommend someone that could polish both it and the watch up, if that's the thing to do.

I have put some links below to photos of the watch.
