A watchmaker and the caliber 2121

Nov 28, 2009,13:36 PM
 

Today at the Salon Belles Montres in Paris, a watchmaker from AP was working on the caliber 2121. A good opportunity to appreciate the beauty and the delicacy of this caliber used in particular for the Jumbo.

I would like to thank the watchmaker for his availability.

Beautiful pictures foversta. Was the watchmaker repairing the movement or just giving a demo on assembly/disassembly? Regards, ED-209

It was just a demo, assembly and disassembly again and again...

His explanations were very clear. The AP booth was a crowded place because it is always fascinating to look at a watchmaker at work. Fr.Xavier This message has been edited by foversta on 2009-11-29 14:53:20

Thanks for that particular treat - I think most AP Forum members will agree,that this is still one of the most beautiful automatic movements ever produced and a fantastic technical achievement - I have a 2120 - none skeletonized rotor - not a patch on the...  

Very cool foversta!
