Notes

This watch represents the ultimate version of the “ popular” line of pocket chronometer, Paul Ditisheim intended to develop with the “Solvil” tractemark. The first attempts were made with the Affix balance, patent No. 91169 from 31 August 1920 and 98234 from 25 August 1921, this model of Guillaume balance was finally adopted.
