Unusual Barraud

This movement is the only known example of this Barraud & Lunds ebauche. It is marked as the second series, 2/6107, which would place it in the period around 1855 to 1860. It is listed in the Jagger book on Barraud in some detail and possibly belonged to Cedric Jagger at the time the supplement was written. The watch has a duplex escapement. The dates on the second series are confusing at best. Watches have appeared with hallmarks as early as 1825 for sn 1946 yet there is an 8 day chronometer with sn 747 that according to Jagger's chronology would date to 1845. |
