The word REMONTOIR is French word for ‘stem-wind'. The inscription on the watches ( ‘REMONTOIR' / Ancre Ligne Droite / 15 Rubis'), means ‘Stem-wound - Straight Line Lever - 15 rubies [i.e. jewels]'. These watches were mass produced and no maker's name was usually marked on them. However, it can be seen from the photos below, that there was obviously one, or possibly two, makers using the 'Remontoir' label almost as a tradename. We do not know yet who they were.
