case number is 900363 and cal number is 401612 - I think that boys from France had their own numbering....

Interesting. '52-3 is still a good guess, I think.

I suspect this unusual piece might also be from Besançon, home of the hollow star:

very interesting!

You know, nastrucjowa, you really ought to start a new thread for the very nice pieces you are posting. They will be much easier to find that way in the future than to dig though a thread with a nonspecific title.

Those railroad "chronometers" are quite cool and unusual. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice desk clock. Antiquorum sold one last week for $3400 (before buyer's premium). I think that one and yours are the only two I've seen outside of Rossler and yours is in excellent condition.

J-Luc, I love these old Italian air force cockpit clocks, and I haven't seen that one before

Here's a Universal version

Forget the puny 57.5mm Type 20 Montre d'Aeronef reissue.

The original full-size model is the only way to go.
