This is a shot of the fabulous Movado cal. 95M movement, which breaks with some traditions of chronograph watchmaking. For example, start/stop and reset buttons are reversed.

Enjoy,

Mick

Here is the back of a F. P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain showing the cal. 1304 movement made in Gold:

20160328_00097.jpg

The ingenious construction of the movement does not only offer a visually pleasant view, …

… it also demonstrates the master's sense of humor: although you can look deep into the movement, apparently just to the base plate, you cannot detect a mechanical connection between the power source (two barrels) and the escapement.

The face of this watch is shown in the WRUW thread.

Enjoy,


Mick

Swiss caliber with unusual (for Swiss caliber) decoration. Around 1910 in a perfect pocket watch!
The caliber:

Not as glamorous but I also really like the look of this one, especially the angular balance bridge.
