Very intrigued by the élégante - looking for some images of the mechanical portion of the movement.

What bothers me now is the movement says Patented but I can't find a Swiss patent that covers this movement. Maybe someone who speaks French or German would have better luck searching, but I can't narrow down the thousands of patents that a Google Patent ...
