Wristwatch: wanted large Zenith chronometer with the legendary calibre "135", ca. 1948
Ca. Ø35mm, 18K gold, pressed back, case number 488200, back with weakly legible owner's engraving, inside punched with Zenith, manual winding calibre 135, chronometer calibre, fine adjusting device, movement number 3869895, striping decoration, silvered dial, pink gold indexes, pink gold hands, like new leather strap wit buckle, in well-kept condition, rarity. Ephrem Jobin introduced the legendary Zenith calibre 135 in 1948. This was a time when many watch manufacturers competed for the highest scores in precision during observatory testing. Calibre 135 featured several technical innovations that enabled it to win a number of awards and prices in the tests. Amongst those was a series of five consecutive prizes at the tests in Neuchâtel from 1950 to 1954. The movement type won a total of 200 awards, of which two thirds were first prizes. Ephrem Jobin developed a larger barrel for the new calibre 135 to improve the isochronism and the power reserve. He also used an extra large balance to achieve higher precision during regulation (higher rotational inertia gives a more consistent performance without increasing the weight or the number of beats). This approach initiated a complete rethink of movement design: amongst other things the minute wheel was removed from the centre of the movement to create additional space for a larger balance. The model entered for observatory testing was fitted with a Breguet overcoil and an eccentric fine adjustment mechanism intended to guarantee a well-balanced friction and a perfect fine adjustment.

Apart from Breguet, there were only very few manufacturers of these special pocket watches, where the time could also be read by hand. Definition Montre a Tact: These watches are equipped with a system invented by Breguet that allows the time to be read by hand. An arrow outside the case indicates the position of the hour hand of the watch. After "feeling" the position of the arrow, the user locates himself by means of projections placed directly above the hours. Launched in 1799, the tact watch (sometimes called the "blind man's watch") sometimes also features rich and varied decorations (enamel, pearls, diamonds). One of the first known Breguet Montre a Tact watches, no. 611, was acquired on 18 February 1800 by Mme Bonaparte, the Empress Joséphine. An identical example of the watch here, possibly the sister watch, is in the Girard-Perregaux Museum.
