Whilst the internal findings did not contain any groundbreaking JLC discoveries, I was thrilled nonetheless to have some more documents from the Le Sentier manufacturer. The booklet dates to 1957 and was from Burkay City Jewelers, New York City. As expected the main focus surrounds the product line of the period including the Atmos, the ..read more
