To Fernand Lajarrigue, consul du Portugal à Nice. He is informed "that a watch measuring externally 61 millimeters in diameter, with a winding mechanism, repeating at will the hours, quarters, and minutes, anchor escapement, compensating balance, etc., enamel dial, with a small second hand and with a large independent chronographic hand in the center, marking 1/5 of a second, stopping at will and returning to XII, extra strong hunter case and gold cuvette, with raised figure F. L. would cost you 2750 francs (exceptional price considering the position you hold, Mr.
Commander, in the press and the services you can render us in this regard)." It would take 6 to 9 months "possibly more to deliver this watch to you. We believe it unnecessary to add that it would be of the finest quality, thoroughly inspected, finally adjusted for pocket wear, tested at high and low temperatures, and accompanied by a certificate of origin and warranty. The variation of 2 to 3 minutes per month that you mentioned to us is very reasonable, and we hope that this piece will run even more accurately"..
