Catalogue Note

Accompanied by the Certificate of Origin and original wooden box.

The 'Heure Universelle', or World Time model, is the result of a revolutionary synchronization principle. This patented mechanism allows for the single push button to control the adjustment of the 24 hour ring, city ring and current local time. The complexities of this mechanism make reading and operating the World Time wristwatch remarkably easy.
