The day after its discovery by the Watch instrument, the X-ray nova GRS 1124-684 in Musca was detected by the soft γ-ray telescope SIGMA at the limit of its field of view. SIGMA pointed the source seven other times between 1991 January and February, and GRS 1124-684 has always been detected up to 300 keV, showing it was one of the hardest objects of the sky. After the flare of January 9 the average spectrum is well fitted by a power law of index 2.38, and the light curve shows a slower decrease than observed at low energy with superposed variability on time scales of several hours
