• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Barraud Lund pocket watch with unusual caliber

    Barraud Lund pocket watch with unusual caliber

    Hi Graham, Thanks for the other reference there, yes that is interesting that exact same balance is on the other movement. A specific Earnshaw piece? or Arnold?

    Barraud Lund pocket watch with unusual caliber

    Thanks for the reply Siyuan, That sounds like an very interesting piece. Are you saying the watch was re-bought or returned to Barraud to be changed to a more complicated piece at a later date? It seems that there were various pieces from Barraud with subtle differences in balance...

    Barraud Lund pocket watch with unusual caliber

    Some great watches posted on this thread, I agree with Jagger, they are very Breguet style or lets say French/Swiss style. Has anyone come across specific 'one off' experimental pieces from Barraud that have this half plate or a unique plate design? I don't have Jaggers books but would be...
