专家说明

Lebet & Fils, active from around 1835 to 1860, were specialized in ultra slim watches fitted with Bagnolet calibre movements. The cases were often engraved in "taille-douce" manner.

The so-called "Bagnolet" or "inverted" calibre with cylinder escapement and with the gear train underneath the dial as opposed to in the bottom plate was developed around 1840 by Philippe-Samuel Meylan. As of the mid 19t century, these ultra thin movements were also used in gold coins. The flattest Bagnolet calibres do not exceed a millimetre and a half in height, insignificantly less than the present movement and its width of approx. 2 millimetres.
