We first encountered this clock over two years ago, since then we have been trying to learn more about it. From the research preformed for us by Jaeger-Lecoultre, this clock was made sometime between 1963 and 1975. The most popular street names for these clocks are "Rue De La Paix." The rarest names are the following: "Place de l'Opera", "Place de la Concorde" and " Rue Jeanne d'Arc". Jaeger informed us that they did manufacture other famous local street names for export to its dealers overseas. They were unable to provide us with any data concerning numbers produced or names used.
