Jardur 960 Bezelmeter
Jardur Import Company of New York first registered the copyright with the Library of Congress for a “Jardur 8 feature aviators chronograph” in November 1939 and “Jardur Bezelmeter aviation chronographs” in November 1940. This watch was the product of Samuel Klepper who’s aviation experience led him to create a multi function pilots tool watch marketed and sold directly to aviators through military concession stores and aviation magazines.
