• 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!

Does anyone recognise this one? It bears some resemblance to both an Audemars and a Touchon movement which I also have.

I suspect that Lecoultre made the underlying ebauche. I have a P. Ditisheim observatory-grade watch based on this ebauche.

I also have seen two Touchons based on this ebauche. One of them is also signed by Agassiz (it is signed by Touchon under the dial). In my Touchon serial number database (Dropbox - Touchon Serial Numbers.doc), I classify them as Type TO8A movements.
