Hello, I am new to the horology game. I’m retired and seeking a new hobby. I have worked in the past as a jack-of-all-trades-mechanic and have zero skills in this game except for maybe turning a screwdriver.

Hello! I have recently bought on Catawiki, a swiss Monté vintage watch. It was estimated at ~450$ by Catawiki and it cost me 90$ + the shipping costs and Catawiki’s fees. The description says that it dates from the 60’s and that it’s powered by a A.Schild AS-1700 mechanism first produced in the 60’s.
So my question is if anyone has ever heard about this watchmaker Monté. There is absolutely nothing on google about it. I only found 2 other models on sale. Most results are about other…
