Question
my apologies if i have misdirected this question but I am trying to find some information on a recently acquired lanvin watch and decided to try this avenue.  the serial number is 762615.  can you help?

Answer
Shoshanah,

Lanvin is an up-market and French tailor of some considerable fame. Some years ago (more than 20) they followed the fashionable business practice of marketing perfumes, watches and other accessories in order to exploit their brand name - LANVIN.

These watches are quite common in Japan, where they are imported by Seiko.

Although Lanvin puts it's name on the watch, they don't manufacture the watch.  To know what type of movement is used you will have to remove the back and look at the movement. It will be written on it somewhere.

Kind regards,

Melvin
