DESCRIPTION:
PW mvt only - LeCoultre & Co, Swiss, minute repeater with triple calendar, moonphase and chronograph, 45mm dial canister ring diameter, HC model mvt, white enamel quintuple-sunk dial, month aperture at 12, moonphase aperture within seconds-register, SW-shift-locking-LS, lever escapement with capped escape wheel, likely 27-35J, fausses-côtes pattern nickel damascene, marked "LeCoultre & Co" beneath hammer, no visible s#.
CONDITION:
Mvt: Running, inconsistent repeat function, typically will strike correct number of hours on each engagement but often with no additional strikes for quarter-hours or minutes, occasionally will strike quarter-hours and on these instances the number of quarter-hour strikes was correct on our trials, on only a very few rare instances in our trials did movement strike any minutes and these were typically less strikes than hand setting would dictate, repeat tone good on the hour strikes but fully muffled on strikes of the other hammer for quarter-hours and minutes, overhaul needed for repeat function and tone, good chronograph function, day, date and moonphase advancing properly when hands are set forward through several days, all calendar functions and moonphase advancing correctly via adjustment tabs, fine cosmetic mvt condition overall, significant surface dirtiness throughout, some oxide to steelwork; dial with hl at 1; excellent hands, hour with mild bends of tip.
