This is a very rare 1950's Concours watch from the "TECHNICUM DU LOCHLE" school." The "TECHNICUM DU LOCLE" was the most famous school for training watchmakers in Switzerland. The school produced a number of watches, including a Pouzeaux 260, a 3-hand watch using Inter's C.83, and a pocket watch. This model is based on the famous Valjoux 23, and all parts are chamfered and the baseplate is finished with perlage, and it is a truly one-of-a-kind gem finished with original improvements suitable for graduation watches. The understated yet luxurious chronograph is reminiscent of BACHELON chronographs.
