Albert H. Potter & Co., Geneve, circa 1870. Unique 18K pink gold hunting cased keyless pocket lever chronometer with twelve seconds revolving tourbillon regulator. Custom made four body, massive, "bassine et filets", polished. Custom made white enamel with Roman numerals and sunk subsidiary seconds. Blued steel Breguet hands.

It was then in an open face case and with another dial with subsidiary second on chapter III. It is also mentioned by Chamberlain in Its About Time", 1941, p. 449, where Major Chamberlain indicates: "I have a tourbillon lever escapement which was made by him but never put on the market; it has the escape wheel stationary and the anchor moving around with the cage ,five times per minute....". Apparently, Potter made only three watches with tourbillon in his life, an earlier one, No. 24, made circa 1857, now in The Time Museum, Rockford, Ill. and the third one, much later, circa 1890, described and illustrated by Daniel and Clutton in I,Valches, Fig. 324 a-b.
