Note: Movement is marked “Veritas” but everything
else is the same and the plate design is
identical. It looks just like this B.W. Raymond,
it just says “Veritas” where this one says
B.W. Raymond…
Curator Response: The Grade 240 was exclusively marked with the name "B.W. Raymond." If the train bridge is marked "Veritas," it was likely pulled from another movement and swapped at some point. Take a close look at the damaskeening pattern and jewel setting screws for discrepancies.
