Description
The Bifora Caliber 113 is a rather modern constructed movement, compared with other popular
Bifora movements. It contains a directly driven center second hand.
An interesting fact is, that it is constructed very compact, so that not all the available space
is used. You can easily see this on the triangle of the jewels of the anchor wheel, center wheel
and intermediate wheel. It uses really very few space.
The only large thing on this movement is the two-leg ring balance. Together with its very long
regulator arm, it helps achieving a good precision. Whether the dome-shaped pallets improve
the accurancy over normally shaped pallets is unknown.
On the dial side, there's only a rocking bar winding mechanism. Fortunately it is very
well constructed.
