*Ceramic white dial *The scales and numbers on the dial are baked, so they are highly durable. *CAL.920 23 jewels Breguet hairspring Balance screw Bimetal cutting balance Swan neck fine adjustment device 18,000 vibrations 5 Adjustments according to different positions *There is a notation of "SAFETY PINION" on the movement. The "SAFETY PINION" is a mechanism that protects the gear train of the watch from damage when the drive spring breaks. It seems that the mainspring of the old clock was easy to cut. *The screw bimetal cutting balance was developed about 120 years ago and was used until the 1940s. Unlike the current tenwa, if you look closely, there are two broken parts. Because it uses a bimetal, the diameter of the balance wheel increases slightly when the temperature rises, and the diameter of the balance wheel decreases slightly when the temperature drops, providing automatic temperature compensation. I think it's a very interesting system. With the development of high-quality materials, the need for bimetal-cut balances has become obsolete. *This individual is about 100 years old, but I think it is in good condition for that. Were old pocket watches made on the assumption that they would be handed down from generation to generation? I think that the ceramic dial is very resistant to aging if you pay attention to shocks. Scales and numbers are hand-painted and fired instead of being printed. In other words, just like painted pottery can be used forever, ceramic dials are also resistant to aging. The blue steel hands are not painted, but baked, so they are highly durable and still maintain a beautiful blue color. *I think that the movement is also made with durability in mind. When I measured the daily difference with a measuring instrument, the following values ​​were obtained. I think that it has sufficient accuracy compared to modern mechanical watches, the graph line is stable, and there is little difference in posture, and it maintains excellent accuracy for a 100-year-old watch. think. In addition, it is thought that it becomes a slightly different value at the time of actual use, so please consider it as a reference. 12:00 +5 to +8 seconds Flat +5 to +8 seconds 3:00 +10 to +12 seconds 6:00 -4 to -2 seconds 9:00 +3 to +6 seconds Top back +2 to +4 seconds
