Description
The FHF caliber 72, which is obviously a direct relative of the
FHF 67, is a very nice classically
constructed mens' watch movement.
The center second of this flat movement is directly driven; the ring
balance with screws uses a blue Nivarox-1 hairspring, which is still
non-adjustable connected to the balance cock. The missing regulator arm
gives it a slightly modern touch.
How rugged this movement is, can be seen on the specimen shown below: It
survived an amateurisch skeletonize attempt by myself.
