Re: Early Autavia Dial Markings, Close-up

Hi Jim,
I remember seeing your beautiful watch when it was offered for sale on TZ some time ago. If my memory serves me correctly, the case back is signed ED HEUER & Co and the movement bridge is signed HEUER-LEONIDAS SA. Shouldn’t it be signed ED HEUER & Co on the bridge as well? Any comments Jim, anyone? Thanks.
Regards,
Amran

: The watch has now arrived and I was able to view it with a loupe.
: The print material and color of the initials appear identical to
: that of the logo and Autavia script, however, I would say that
: the width of the initials is a few microns wider. The periods
: after each letter are not perfectly round, but rather are shaped
: a bit like a comma. That's about all I know today that I didn't
: know yesterday, except to say that I love the watch, whatever
: the story is behind the letters.
