Notes
This watch is a one-of-a-kind piece. It was made specially for M. Alfred Jaïs, who was an important watch collector; his collection was sold by Antiquorum. The watch was specially designed by M. Georges Brown, then the director of the Breguet firm, and M. Jaïs himself, in order to produce a unique watch to M. Jaïs' specifications.
