 The "Côtes de Genève" are in fact smooth curved parallels grooves who are machined into the movement's bridges.

2 perlage exemples... The surface can be hammered also but it's "cheaper"

Hahaha! Thanks, William. I used to wear the Travel Time a lot when I worked in the bank but when I quit banking and changed my lifestyle to work in the field, this "little treasure" had to hibernate a little bit and gets to see the light of day during certain events. Thanks again.Thumbsup3.gif
