Notes

Ref. 3410Production of this reference started in 1959.The Amagnetic Cal. 27-400 AM was launched in 1960.This calibre is fitted with a gold lever escapement and is sometimes protected by a cap in soft iron.Poinçons de GenèveThe voluntary quality control of watches at the Geneva Observatory, was established by a law dated November 6, 1886. Conditions were laid down for the attribution and stamping of the Poinçons de Genève, punch-marks designed as the coat-of-arms of Geneva. Pocket watches, or wristwatches which carry the Poinçons de Genève, considered as an equivalent to a Bulletin Officiel de Marche, punched on a bridge and on the main plate of the movement, were qualified to be officially termed ?chronometers?.
