A different kind of “Mysterieuse”: the movement was probably made by LeCoultre & Cie. and there is hardly any information on Venetian jeweller Antonio Passoni; then there is, of course, the strange date “26-XI-922” that ought to stand for the 26th of November 1922 the day when Howard Carter entered the tomb of Tutankhamun and said, “I see wonderful things…”. This is a fine timepiece in excellent condition.
