The basic information I have found is that these were made by both Cyma and Tavannes and marketed by Hermes (some dials are co branded) to golfers. Any help with that, I can't find them other than a few quotes in fashion blogs? Apparently the original owner bought it from "Grays of London" (?). Went back in yesterday and picked it up :D. Some are going for big sums but one sold recently at a Florida auction for $130 :shock: I think I'll send some pictures off and get a valuation. Came home and did a little googling which mainly turned up old Christie's auction results (the eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed I had a quick post up asking if anyone had ever used Christie's before). I ran into one at a small, out of town antique store last weekend. The Flying Banana first brought my attention to these when he spotted an eBay auction back in November.
