Lemania

Lemania is one of the most respected names in Swiss chronograph history, renowned for producing some of the finest chronograph and precision timing movements ever manufactured. Founded in 1884 by Alfred Lugrin in l’Orient, Switzerland, the company became a leading specialist in chronographs, stopwatches and high-grade mechanical movements.

Throughout the twentieth century, Lemania supplied movements to many of the world’s most prestigious watch manufacturers and played a crucial role in the development of military, aviation, scientific and sporting chronographs. The company’s calibres earned a reputation for reliability, technical excellence and elegant construction, making them highly sought after by collectors and watchmakers alike.

Among the most celebrated Lemania movements are the 15TL, 27CHRO C12, 2310, 5100 and numerous military chronograph calibres. These movements powered watches from many renowned manufacturers and remain among the most collectible chronograph mechanisms ever produced. The Lemania 2310 in particular is regarded as one of the finest manually wound chronograph movements in horological history.

Lemania also holds a unique place in watchmaking history through its association with some of the most important chronographs ever produced, including military-issued watches, aviation chronographs and space-related timepieces. Original movements, dials, hands and spare parts have become increasingly difficult to source, making authentic Lemania components highly desirable for restoration projects and historically correct repairs.

Our collection may include original Lemania chronograph movements, military watch components, dials, cases, spare parts and other collectible horological items. Whether you are searching for a rare chronograph calibre, original restoration parts or a historically important movement, Lemania remains one of the most influential names in Swiss watchmaking.
