Technically, the LE PHARE, including the chronograph function, works flawlessly and has recently been overhauled: (275°; +11s/d).
The watch shows hardly any signs of wear. There are no deep scratches, dents, etc., the glass is scratch-free.
In 1888 the brand name 'Le Phare' (= the lighthouse) was registered. The founder Barbezat-Baillot is considered a brilliant watchmaker and inventor and had a large number of patents registered. Swiss Patent 334 was one of Barbezat-Baillot's most important inventions and involves the use of centrifugal force in the repeating mechanism.
Le Phare supplied complicated movements to other manufacturers such as Bulova, Audemars & Freres and Invicta. Zenith therefore bought the company for a few years, and Le Phare became independent again in 1922. The company then developed into the second largest manufacturer of wrist chronographs and sports stopwatches. The brand remains fairly unknown as it was primarily sold under 'private label'. The product range was expanded to include calendar wristwatches.
The company was given the new name 'Le Ohare - Sultana SA' in 1974. After many model innovations, the 'Samara' model, an extraordinary drive, was developed with a small microgenerator instead of the battery. Today the company belongs to 'Renley Watch Mfg. Co. Ltd. Hong Kong'.
