LeCoultre Grand Complication Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
Fine LeCoultre Grand Complication 14K gold minute repeater perpetual calendar chronograph
antique pocket watch circa 1900.
Fine white enamel dial with blued steel hands and red and black indications for
running seconds, day, date, month and year (1-4) and aperture for phases of the moon.
Substantial plain polish hunting case with chronograph button and slide in the band
to activate the repeater. Fine nickel estimated 32 jewel movement jeweled to the hammers and
the center. Signed "LeCoultre" under one of the hammers.
Unlike simple calendar watches, this mechanism "knows" the number of days in each
month and also accounts for leap year. When activated, this watch chimes the time using
different chime tones to designate the hours, quarter hours and minutes with loud clear tones.
Excellent example.
