    Hi guys,

    Some time ago I wrote a piece a bout a a school watch https://omegaforums.net/threads/unique-school-watch-with-valjoux-23.106014/#post-1543962. This was received with quite enthusiasm. So a couple of months ago I wrote a second even more in-depth article about another school piece. This is a very unique full set consisting of a pocket watch and a wristwatch made by a single student which were both tested as a chronometer of which the pocket watch as an observatory chronometer. What makes this really special is that this set has all the paperwork possible.

    Let me state, so that I am not misleading, I am a watch dealer and these pieces are also for sale. The reason that I post this is that these pieces deserve a bigger audience. This article will shed a light on school watches and observatory chronometers. This is haute horology from a begone era. Another note. The name of the student has been made non visible on the main bridge of the pocket watch and paperwork due to privacy reasons.

    Read the full article on my website with additional pictures: https://www.wristicons.com/blogs/articles/ecole-dhorlogerie-le-locle-observatory-chronometer/

    Thank you for full disclosure, and a bigger thanks for showing these two examples to us.
