Histoire d'un Montre Racontée par Elle-Même, sa Vie et ses Péripéties,

suivie d'un Dialogue sur l'Horlogerie entre Monsieir Trottevite et Monsieur Vabien

By L. Borsendorff

French, 1869, 63 pages

This unimportant book contains two charming short stories. Although both stories serve to illustrate Borsendorff's opinions about nineteenth century watchmaking, it provides some light relief from serious horology.

The original French book is provided as a pdf file of page scans (about 8 MB):
