A beautiful piece of supreme quality, as is to be expected from a school watch made in Glashütte.
In 1904 Gumal Schmidt is listed in the A. Lange & Söhne staff records as 56 years of age. It is remarkable that six years later at the age of 62 Schmidt graduated from the watch and clockmaking school in Glashuette.
