[QUOTE="Fid, post: 3733097, member: 7724"]it seems that there are some errors around that need clarifying in this case. there is no difference between a Comtoise and a Morbier, the names are used interchangably. the one showed as French/ Bretonne is only "Bretonne" by the place of the production of the wood-case. the works were produced on both sides of the Franco-Swiss border, mainly around Belfort and Montbéliard. I very much doubt that Comtoise works were exported to such far away and unknown places as Sweden. it sounds more logic that the form of the cases was "imported" and then completed with Becker and other German works. Becker would only have been capable of producing accurate works in the 1860s and later. I see a very small chance that the models and some works that would have been copied in Prussia when Prussia possessed land on both sides of the Franco-Swiss border, namely half of the canton of Neuchâtel and around Montbéliard that went under the German name Mümpelgard.[/QUOTE]
