I will check Le Phare. Did Landeron make pocket watches do you know?

If I remember, there are some people on the NAWCC website (www.nawcc.org) (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) who might be able to help. There was a web site once where someone had put a stack of info on Le Phare but I can't find it. Land...
