Evidently pretty darn rare. "Louis Cottier died on September 16, 1966 in Ca-rouge. His production totaled 455 movements for World Time pocket watches, wristwatches, and clocks, produced at an average rate of 13 pieces per year. Only 179 of these are movements for pocket watches, sold by various firms, of which 17 have a central cloisonn� enamel dial." http://www.antiquorum.com/vox/june_2002/cottier/cottier.htm This style watch was made for Patek, Vacheron and Agassiz. | ||

beautiful piece as a composition, everything is right it would be very nice to see it photographed at 7:23 the concealed band elements are very fine - without them, it (with the lugs) reminds me of my favorite LC Memovox case design. I like the size too. | ||
