The case back bears the engraving "Dubuis + Depraz S.A. - Le lieu à Le Phare Jean d'Eve - 100e anniversaire". It can be assumed that this watch is a prototype made by the Dubois-Depraz manufacture in the Vallée de Joux, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Le Phare – Jean d'Eve company, founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1888.
