Georges Huin finished his watchmaking school in 1899, luck would have it that his father was a master engraver. He gave the case to his father, who created this masterpiece as described by his son in the accompanying document. The engraving work is of amazing quality and combined with the Chronometer movement made by his son, culminated in this unique masterpiece.
