Bifora 68
Description
This is one of the common form movements by Bifora, which was used
in many ladies' watches. It uses a pallet lever escapement, a Bishock
shock protection system and a regulation system with a long regulation
hand. The rest is business as usual, only the tight composition of the
gears (a 3 o'clock) is noteable, it allowes a larger mainspring.
