This charming little watch was produced by Gallet, a high grade ebouch maker in Switzerland working for Cartier and Tiffany as well. The watch came to us many years ago from the original family, the great grandmother was a nurse during WW1 and this was her watch. They traded it in because they wanted something more modern. We have just serviced it and it still keeps dependable time and can be worn all the time and counted on. You will likely never see another one of these watches again.
