專家說明

The present lot comprises a large and interesting selection of different dial models mainly for wristwatches as well as for pocket watches and small table clocks, most probably partially manufactured by Arnould Frères of Saint Imier, Switzerland. Active in the early 20th century until the 1940s, the firm specialized in the production of high quality dials.
