Schwarz Etienne caliber TSE 122.00

TSE 122.00 description

The caliber TSE PSR 122.00 is an evolution of the caliber TSE121.00 incorporating an original retrograde second indication.

It is integrated in an unusual way, as its mechanism is built directly in connection with the Tourbillon. A snail cam is mounted on the tourbillon arbor. A ratchet gear is resting on this cam while the system is tensioned with a spring. This allows for the small seconds hand to advance along an arc and then suddenly jump back to recommence at the starting point.
