Around 1918 Antique Le Phare minute repeater & chronograph pocket watch gold plated hunter case refurbished
SKU: 174301958
Le Phare is a manufacturer that specializes in complex watches such as repeaters and chronographs.
This is a pocket watch with both a minute repeater and a chronograph function.
A gold-plated hunter's case with an engraving on the front cover, "Remembering the Friends of Las Flores, June 20, 1918."
The chronograph has some glitches, but the minute repeater works perfectly.
I don't think you'll find an antique pocket watch that works as well as this.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!

There is a problem that the chronograph stops halfway about once every five times.
