	The 1862 hammer band sits in the GBP 3,000–7,500 range for typical 9K Glasgow-imported examples and reaches CHF 11,875 for the 1935 9K + steel two-tone with three-tone dial — an order of magnitude below the 1490's CHF 62,500 Beyer-double-signed Phillips ceiling. The discount reflects the 1862's lower period prestige (no Brancard premium, less period advertising) rather than any difference in movement grade or chronometer testing rigour. A chronometer-grade Ultra Prima 1862 carries the same Aegler movement architecture as a chronometer-grade Ultra Prima 1490 — the case shape and the period marketing diverge, the watchmaking does not.

	The 1862 is the Prince Classic — the straight-sided rectangular Prince that runs concurrent with the flared Brancards (971 and 1490) rather than as a successor. Where the Brancards splay outward from the case waist, the 1862 reads as a restrained Art-Deco rectangle with parallel sides, snap-on caseback, and a smaller wrist footprint at approximately 20 by 35 millimetres. The dial layout is the same Prince duo-dial — hours and minutes upper, oversized sub-seconds at six — and the movement is the same Aegler shaped-caliber family that defined the Prince line, including chronometer-grade Ultra Prima examples. Production runs from a documented Glasgow 1934 hallmark through a 1942 caseback inscription. The 1862 is harder to find than the 1490 because it received less period advertising, but it carries the same chronometer pedigree on a quieter case form.
