For me it is this 1970s (probably?) watch from a brand (one of a few) created by a family of watchmakers from Chaquermont, France. It uses a Lorsa 8FA movement, which was commonly used for women’s wristwatches since it is a fairly small movement. I got it because I began studying watchmaking, and the movement represents a fun challenge while being not too difficult to find or expensive to source like its Swiss counterparts (thankfully!). I also think it’s interesting in itself to look at other watchmaking traditions beyond the usual ones (Swiss, Japanese, German…).
