Horological Meandering

Not the usual Favre Leuba?

 

For quite a while I've been interested in getting some good and interesting examples of Favre Leuba watches with their double-barrel, full balance bridge movements. After missing out on one I sorely regret, I saw one recently caught my eye. I put in an offer, and now it should be on its way. The main reason this one caught my eye, was the movement. For the most part, it resembles the usual FL 253 movements. Unlike them however, one of the bridges seems to be different, revealing some component of the movement. On that same bridge plate, the text "chronometer company swiss" is something I have never seen before either, with no info online about it.  The edges on each plate seem to be rounded very nicely too.


Anyone have any information on this? Thanks!
