Online Antiquorum description....
classified this watch as having an "enlarged display" but the QMVC catalog (lot #176) omitted this description. It wasn't listed as a driver's watch and the angle doesn't really assist while driving. The original version had a lepine pocketwatch movement so the subseconds had to be opposite the stem. With the new version they were free to place the subseconds anywhere but I agree with the earlier post that it looks unbalanced. Now with the Breguet style numbers, they should perhaps have followed Breguet tradition and placed the subdial down at 5 o'clock? That would also have been historically consistent with other vintage VC watches that followed this distinctly Breguet subdial placement.

I think that must have been a "destro."
And it is just gorgeous. Did the auction catalog from which you got the picture give and description of the watch in the text? Bill
