The watch is extremely rare and a very fine Geneva quality. Most Haas Neveux & Co. dress watches from this period are only equipped with a repeater. This watch also includes a chronograph with register. Haas Neveux & Co., along with Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron & Constantin, was one of the top 4 manufacturers of these Geneva pocket watches supplying Cartier, Verger, Van Cleef and Tiffany. These watches with prime quality movements are wanted collector’s items.
