Number of movement parts - 320, a special place of which is the cogwheel, invented in 1887. The interaction of the cogwheel and column wheel is reminiscent of the work of transmission in a car. The column wheel that controls the functions of start, stop and reset the chronograph watch performs in the role of a transmission. The cogwheel plays the role of coupling.
