It is front wound & in good running order. Excluding the stem it is only 36mm or 1 7/16" in diameter. I think the movement might have a "Parachute Balance", invented by Breguet to absorb shock but supersize the pictures to make sure this is correct. It's running well enough but owing to its age I'll have to sell it in need of a clean/service. The convex enamelled dial is in good condition save for the nibbles around the winding hole. The case is gold plated with a 5 x 2mm area of loss at the back rim. I will supply a winding key with this. All in a very interesting watch. Post and packing to be paid by the buyer. Payment by Paypal accepted. Cheques/money orders etc. can only be accepted in £'s sterling. Postage to UK is £2.10 Postage to Europe is £4.00 International Signed For Airmail.
