“Brinckmann & Lange, Class 1 A Silver Movement” Brinckmann & Lange, Bremen, No. 2928. Made in 1905. Very fine and extremely rare, hunting-cased, keyless, 14K pink gold, pocket lever chronometer with Guillaume balance. Four-body, "Lucia", solid, polished, the front cover with an engraved monogram. Hinged gold cuvette. Three-piece, white enamel with dauphine numerals, outer minute track, subsidiary seconds. Gold "Louis XVI" hands. Notes Around the turn of the century, the firm of Brinckmann & Lange, from Bremen, produced a very small number of pocket watches with full-plate silver movements. These movements, as well as their cases, were made in Switzerland, and were based on the design of those of A. Lange & Söhne. Previously it was thought that the movements had been made in Glashütte, but this has been proven to be incorrect. This watch was described in the article “Taschenuhren von Brinckmann & Lange in Bremen” by Otto Habinger, in Alte Uhren, 4/90.
