Notes

These types of displays were made to be exhibited in retailer's windows to show the functioning mechanism of a self-winding movement. Electrically powered, when started, regularly moves the rotor up and down and in turn powers the movement. These were extremely well made and made in very little quantities, this example is numbered No. 05. A great conversation piece for any enthusiastic fan of horology.

Provenance

Property of a Swiss gentleman
