The legend of Lemania

Today we're working on an old Lemania watch with their caliber 1341 from the early 1970's that has seen better days. Lemania is perhaps the most reputed maker of chronographs ever, having made the movements inside the Speedmaster moonwatch and many storied Omega's, Tissot's as well as other major brands.
We'll discuss a bit of Lemania history and touch upon how the quartz crisis impacted the Swiss watch industry specifically on the chronograph front. And we ping a part into the great beyond!
