LeCoultre, Case No. 27640, Dimensions 50 mm, circa 1890, Weight 118 g, Origin: Switzerland Case: 18K gold, smooth, case maker’s punch mark “TS,” fluted bezels. Dial: Enamel. Movement: Bridge movement, large screw-compensated balance. The watchmaking firm DuBois & LeRoy was based in Le Locle and was in operation prior to 1866. They produced watches of very high quality and specialized in the manufacture of pocket chronometers. At the chronometer test for pocket chronometers held at the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1866, the first two prizes went to the firms DuBois & LeRoy and Ducommun, La Chaux-de-Fonds. To regulate their chronometers, they had them adjusted by specialist “reglers” such as Jules Jacot or Fritz Borgstedt (1826–1892). The company also supplied high-quality movements to Borel & Courvoisier in Neuchâtel. Source: watch-wiki.org Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good, with a hairline scratch. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
