    ....but now, your mine.

    For those of you that don't know who she is, please take a read here and you will see further down in the posting that MF and Cellar, explained her history quiet in detail.

    Lutetia

    Also of course at this excellent resource for info on Pocket-watches

    [IWC Pocket Watches](www.iwcpocketwatch.com/finger_bridge.html)

    From my side, I've been looking to add her to my collection for quite some time - but apparently she is not so common. I finally found her hiding out in Hungary, and she arrived this morning in really nice condition.

    And might I add, she runs like clockwork - fingers and all!

    Best regards
    Mark

    There were two Lutetia's Cal. 65, which debuted in 1893 and then Cal. 66, which was a few years later. I think this is a Cal. 65 (Lepine), of which about 24,000 were made if I recall.

    Ah! The immense pleasure of searching, finding, acquiring and collecting vintage IWCs. It is akin to the "hunt", or the "seduction" processes [if I can still remember how the latter was like. :))]
    Congratulations Mark, on yet another exquisite IWC.
