Aiguille, aiguillet or aiguilles ? All connected with watch making but not makers. * edit - just seen extra images - refers to watch part, not the maker.



Would need to see inside. Could be one of a few companies.

Might only be $120-150 Art if that case is plated and not gold that's a bit grubby.

Starting at $600 but $650 on the label ?

Not a great movement. Would have wanted to see something a little finer given the case and face.

Have you time to get one of the inside back cover ?

Nicer of the two though seems to have been cleaned / repaired recently.

Wouldn't be surprised if the gold weight alone was $800
