According to family tradition, this masterpiece, depicting all the attributes symbolizing victory, has been offered by Marechal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, as a tribute to his determining role in the victorious outcome of this battle. The dial is signed by the excellent watchmaker Armingaud, born in Paris.
