This vintage mechanical timer was an essential tool in the world of competitive pigeon racing. Crafted in Belgium by Natural Antwerp between the 1950s and 1970s, this robust "Junior" model was designed to precisely log the moment a racing pigeon returned home. Upon arrival, the handler would insert the bird’s identification ring into a side slot and press the lever, stamping the exact time onto an internal paper disc. Its reliable 15-jewel mechanical movement and practical field-ready design made it a trusted companion in racing circles. This model is officially approved by the Royal Belgian Federation of Pigeon Fanciers (KBDB / RFCB), underscoring its authenticity and accuracy in the sport.
