class=Normal> The expertly finished case bears the Huguenin and Louys Chatelain signatures and shows the city arms of Le Locle, Neuchâtel, Môtiers, Boudry and La Chaux-de-Fonds – this shooting competition took place right in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country. The watch was created in the famous workshop of Ulysse Nardin and matches the occasion – the dial has different shades of brown and the hands are elaborately modelled in the shape of a gold and brown crossbow. In loving detail even the second hand has the form of a tiny arrow. The finely gilt movement with white stones completes this marvellous piece of art.
