Servicing notes
Cleaning, lubrication, mainspring and pivot work belong with a qualified watchmaker working from calibre-specific documentation. Conserve original parts: replacing a worn component with a modern substitute changes the object, and refinishing plates or dials destroys evidence.
General guidance only. Antique movements should be serviced by a qualified watchmaker.
Historical significance
Introduced bidirectional automatic winding to the house's production, a step in the development of its later automatic calibres.
