Horological Meandering - Hoga Chronograph from the early seventies

Hoga Chronograph from the early seventies

Apr 01, 2011,00:20 AM

Hi!

I bought this Hoga chronograph from a former watchmaker who imported and distributed Hoga in Denmark in the early seventies. It has never been sold and is unused.
I could not find much information about the Hoga factory besides it was a small Swiss factory that made the otherwise clocks. They used other factories movements.
This Hoga have equipped with a Valjoux 7734.

I have not managed to find other Hoga chronographs online.

If you know of other Hoga chronographs or know anything about Hoga's history you must please let me know.

Best

Thomas

Hi Thomas, Thanks for posting your Hoga. Very characteristic 70's cushion-shaped case and funky colours. It has been interesting to see this era of watch design coming back into vogue with examples from Tudor, Glashutte Original and Zenith . I don't know ...

Funky! :)
