With your fondness for V&C's "top-winders"
perhaps you'll enjoy this "bottom-winder" minute repeater from 1946 Antiquorum photo ...
Thank you, Dean, for sharing this beauty!
Is there any additional info about this watch and movmt? WBR Serge
sure Serge
according to the C of A, it is a quarter-repeater, 13/14 ligne calibre (13 lignes for the top plate, 14 lignes for bottom plate) of 23 douzieme thickness (4.32 mm), manufactured in 1913. It was cased-up as a wrist watch in 1946 with "couronne à 6 heures"....
Thank you Dean!!
It is real gem! Especially if it was cased by V&C... Not a modern marriage ) WBR Serge
yes, modified to wrist watch by V&C in 1946
an issued with a VC Certificate of Authenticity in 1991
heart-stopping!
Gorgeous, I hope you find out more about the movement. If you pm me the serial numbers, I'll do some checking...
What a pair! The one on the right is the ultimate stealth classic VC.
The one on the left is just incredible, and shows it.
Jeeeeeeezusssss
Now those are beauties. Nico’s photo, too. I’d probably go for the super-simple stealthy one...but really, given the options, it would be one of the most difficult choices to make! Best E.
