This is a stunning and beautiful watch that was hand-built and finished by a student at the Ecole D'Horlogerie Le Locle, located in the Jura mountains of Switzerland. These school-made watches represent the watchmaking student's skill and dedication ! Purchased from the widow of the original owner, who was a lifelong watchmaker, this piece from the 1960s stands as a testament to the watchmaker's pride and skill. This truly is a current favourite in our office !
