| An unusual movement retailed by Dent but made by the firm of Nicole Nielsen who manufactured for many of the eminent watchmaking firms in the second half of the 19th Century. Adolphe Nicole took out the patent for keyless winding in 1844. It is marked "Partly Swiss" referring to the perpetual calendar which would have been purchased by Nicole Nielsen as a complete mechanical assembly. |
