Please help end a bit of a debate. I have an aircraft in at the moment with the following clock fitted, it looks like a German Wartime clock – but is it??? I thought most of these things were made by Junghans, this appears to have SIMMS stamped on the face. Google brings up nothing….
Ideas?

They were fitted to the Swiss Venom amongst others. Be nice to find one!

Sinn (not SIMMS) is indeed an old German watchmaking company … however not old enough for WW2 (since ~1961).
