"Societe Suisse de Chronometrie: Some results obtained with Precision Wrist Watches under normal conditions of wear" by E. Guyot, Neuchatel - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1950 Swiss magazine.
Text in the article is in English.
The opening paragraph of the article reads:
"In 1941 the Observatory of Neuchatel commenced trials for precision wrist watches. They are, in the main, comparable with those for precision pocket watches of first class performance, only the positions in which the trials are carried out are different, since a watch worn on the wrist is not liable to be in the same positions as a watch worn in the pocket. The five most probable positions for a wrist watch have been adopted, that is to say vertical pendant left (which replaces the pendant up position for a precision pocket watch), vertical pendant up, vertical pendant down, horizontal dial down and horizontal dial up. The temperature trials are carried out at 4, 18 and 32 degrees centigrade."
The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.
[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]
The article is 2 pages in length (on 1 sheet of paper, front and back).
As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.
The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
