I dedicated my first MAGRETTE watch to my brother Marcus McAsey (1969 – 1990)... selling out of my first model, the Marcus Chronograph Manual Wind, & still have people asking for it today.

Chinese Seagull ST19/ Swiss Venus 175 23 jewels manual-wind movement - tested by our skilled technician
Please do not mistake the ST19 to be a below par movement. The Seagull ST19 is the Venus 175 calibre produced by Seagull using Venus tooling machinery bought over in the 1960s when Venus was raising funds to develop other movements. Parts between modern day Seagull ST19 & vintage Venus 175 movements are hence interchangeable.
