An absolute must-have watch for the collection of any antique watch enthusiast.
Made in 'Art Nouveau' style in the mid 20th century by the Swiss manufacturers founded in 1888 in La Chaux de Fonds, a small company that became famous for its classic movement with visible balance wheel, but especially for the duration of the watch's charge, thanks to a very large winding spring inserted in the barrel that takes up almost all the width of the watch case.
The full name of the company was Hebdomas Schild S. A.
The patent was filed by Iréné Aubry of Saignelégier (Switzerland), on 14 November 1888.
The name comes from the Greek and later Latin word for WEEK, which is HEBDOMAS.
