This unusual vintage Tourneau features a dual-time dial with two independent time displays, one with Arabic numerals and the other with Roman numerals, each controlled by its own crown. The clean white dial, gold-tone case, and brown leather strap give it a classic appearance, while the unconventional layout sets it apart from traditional dress watches.
Perhaps the most interesting detail is the small bull emblem printed at 6 o'clock, which closely resembles the historic Merrill Lynch logo. While we haven't been able to confirm a direct connection, it's most likely that this watch was commissioned as a corporate gift, employee award, or promotional piece for the New York financial firm, particularly given Tourneau's history of supplying corporate watches.
