During the mid 20th century many renowned European watch manufacturers exported finished movements in transport cases to the United States of America. Local jewellers such as for example Tiffany & Co. in New York for Patek Philippe or Charles William Schuman for Lange & Soehne would subsequently fit the movements into new cases to the taste of their customers. This is one of the very rare opportunities to acquire one of these movements, particularly as this piece has such a exceptionally complicated design.
