Description: Fantastic, working* sample. Minor crack on glass. The watch was received as gift, with inscription "to Henry", dated 13.5.1934, making this year kind of 100th anniversary. Made after 1914 Grand Prix Berne award but not after 1931 when company changed owners. Bit of history: The company Election can trace back to Lazare Lucien Braunschweig (1819-1899), who worked as a watchmaker in the area, but it was his brother, Alphonse Braunschweig, who first established himself as a watchmaker. The Election factory was to be built at the end of Rue de la Paix directly west of La Chaux-de-Fonds near the Eplatures. Election had begun construction by February 1904 with a planned opening of 1905, by which time 250 workers would be needed. Dimensions: 49.5mm (without the crown). *Watch works but I cannot say much about accuracy. It has not been serviced. Watches have only lately became my passion. Antique camera shutters and watch movements fascinates in similar way. Shipping Worldwide: Signed For, Priority, Tracking. EU 5-10 days, Rest 3-4 weeks.
