Here's the original "montre à volets" dating from the late 20s(View entire thread)May 31, 07 17:42
the cases were developed specially for VC by the famous Parisian case makers Verger Freres. Its interesting to note that the shutteres ("volets" in French) open horizontaly via a crown meaning you could keep the shutters opened or closed.
In the modern reiteration the shutters are always closed unless you keep the button on the bottom on the dial pressed.
