Notes

This watch and two others with successive numbers were special orders and delivered only in chromium plated display cases to be used as fleck watches. The ten adjusuueuts, as specified on the movement, arc another most unusual technical feature, the best quality watches being usually adjusted only for heat and cold isochronism and li positions (eight adjustments).
