My Grandfather Recently Inherited A Deceased Uncle's Watch With A Foreign Language Message Engraved In It?

The engravement reads: Ancre ligme droite spiral breguet 15 Rubis.





I typed in it and it said it is something called a Lincoln 15 Jewel Watch or something please help me translate this!|||It must be ''ligne'' not ''ligme''


This is French, it describes the characteristics of the watch


spiral Breguet is Breguet hairspring, Breguet being a brand


15 rubis is 15 jewels


Ancre Ligne Droite means that is has a straight line lever escapement.
