    Just coming into the workshops-fabulous electric Master clock/Regulator from the Omega factory.
    Made for Omega by Favag who were the world standard for accurate Master clocks.

    It's going to look too big on your wrist but there are more fashionable ways to go ...

    Hi it has a Hipp toggle mechanism that was developed by Hipp that became Peyer Favarger and finally Favag it runs on a 6v supply-the pendulum is invar so it is an extremely accurate clock.
