Question
Sir, can you tell me about watch   Chonographe Suisse  Norina ancre 17 rubin , antimagnetic  becouse j can not find anything on the internet . It has same little classic style. Thank you

Answer
By the name, I am sure you can tell that it is Swiss.  

The watch has 17 jewels, which cuts down on friction caused by metal on metal, to help it keep time more accurately and cut down on wear and tear.

Anti magnetic means that it is difficult to magnetize.
Magnetism is the enemy of any watch (that and dirt).  It messes up the accuracy.
Magnetism is all around us.  Magnets are now widely used in the new money clips or front pocket wallets.  They use magnets to hold the money.  They will affect your watch or credit card/hotel room key card.


Kind regards,

Melvin
