Henry Capt, Genève, No. 326015, circa 1920.Very fine and rare 18K gold keyless 8-day watch. Notes The watch incorporates a five-wheel train instead of the usual four, to change the ratio between the center wheel, which directly drives the minute hand, and the escape wheel, from the usual 1/1200 to about 1/10,000, thus making the 8-day duration possible.
