Description from the seller
The simplest and most efficient travel watch!
Discover the timeless elegance of travel watches, a symbol of precision and functionality.
Starting from the mid-18th century, in England and France, these extraordinary instruments revolutionized the conception of time during travel, embodying the perfect fusion of craftsmanship and practicality.
Carriage clocks, also known as 'officer's watches' in France, have a fascinating history linked to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Legend has it that, after risking the loss of a crucial battle due to the delay of one of his officers, the great commander ordered that every officer always carry a carriage clock. Thus, the expression 'a clock for an officer' became part of everyday language, emphasizing the importance of time in military strategy.
Choosing a high-quality travel watch is not just a matter of style, but an investment in reliability and precision.
L'Épée watches are designed to accompany you on every adventure, combining watchmaking tradition with refined and modern design.
This particular watch features a white enamel dial with Roman numerals and a 12-hour timer.
Experience the joy of traveling with a trusted companion by your side.
Christmas is the perfect time to discover these works of art, ideal for celebrating special moments.
Dimensions: approximately 15x8.5x7.5 cm.
Watch weight: 1.268 kg
Working, with 2 charging keys.
Since it is a watch belonging to my father, some details, such as the chime, might be incorrect through no fault of my own. I recommend you search online for technical specifications of this watch.
