A vintage-style mount

The William L small chronograph is an uninteresting watch in terms of its features. The chronograph consists of two small dials. The second hand therefore works in a common way to indicate the seconds. Its sunray dial with affixed indexes is of rather good quality. These dauphine-type hands and the shape of the case are reminiscent of vintage watches. William L is Guillaume Laidet's first brand and in a sense this watch is a precursor to successes in terms of the recovery of prestigious old brands. The dimensions are perfect, its engraved crown, its domed sapphire crystal, the absence of a date and the good quality bracelet with the engraved buckle, make this watch an endearing timepiece for which I always take pleasure when I wear it, although this is quite rare. A pretty simple quartz watch and vintage dress watch type. Its flaws are the poor quality push buttons and the case back without specific treatment.
