On the dial it reads Patented SGDG Paris
SGDG was a French type of patent that ceased to exist in 1968. The name was a common abbreviation for “Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement“ (patent without government guarantees).
France and Belgium maintained a system of simple registration of patents. It was believed that patents registered in this way are free from any liability from the government perspective.
