This watch is illustrated in Cedric Jagger`s book on Paul Philip Barraud and described :- "Modernised 1814 pattern, with dial exhibiting minutes within the chapter numerals.  Since 625 is a transitional design, this is probably the first of the 1814 calliper in its complete form; even as modernised, the basic dial design has been retained. The modern balance has blades rivetted to the cross-bar and divided some distance away from it; each short overlap incorporates a screw (for adjustment of poise?)."
