Bernex - NOS FHF Cal. 64 Manual Wind Movement - Ligne 8Âľ" - Missing Hour Wheel

đź“Ś Description

The Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon (FHF) Caliber 64 ladies' manual‑wind movement was introduced in the early 1960s. It uses a classical construction with a direct‑driven minute wheel, combined with a directly‑driven center seconds hand. This stacked architecture gives the movement a "double‑decker" design, making it relatively thick for its small diameter.

The movement features Incabloc shock protection on the movement side, an additional shock system on the dial side, and cap‑jewel support for the escapement wheel. The winding system uses a traditional yoke mechanism.

This example appears to be missing the hour wheel .
