August Golay-Leresche et fils GENEVE

[Michael R. Dutton]

This watch is a beauty. Split hand chronograph, secondary dial second hand, minute and hour repeater. Pendant wind, pendent set (after depressing a small "button" on the side of the watch case). Signed on the dial, on the case and on the movement. Cased by the maker, I believe, because the case and movement serial numbers are the same as well as the signatures. The case is gold.

Here are some photos of the watch face, case and movement:

What can any of you tell me about this Swiss watchmaker?

I've taken another photograph of the watch. This is a close-up of the maker's signature on the movement.

I sure hope someone can tell me something about the watchmaker.
