The name "Cornes De Vache" is apparently attributable to the shape of the lugs. These are per a few Google translations - "cow horns".
The case is of platinum and measures (in my feeling) a much more respectable 38.5 mm in diameter. The case back features a sapphire crystal display, all the better to view and appreciate the manually-wound Calibre 1142.
The column-wheel chronograph provides a 30 minute counter at 3 o'clock.
