Pocket watch case with a small serial number

WatchUSeek Watch Forums WatchUSeek Watch Forums

This Billodes pocket watch for the Ottoman market has the smallest case s/n I’ve ever seen – 2442. It has a Billlodes-53 movement.
According to the legend of the owner’s family, the watch was brought from the Russo-Turkish War 1877-1878 as a trophy.

Was the case for this watch made by the Georges Favre-Jacot company? And when was it made?
