    I was not visiting the Forum for quite a while, and the brand has done some major changes in its "branding" since my high frequence forum time.
    But now I am back for hopeful some more visits.
    Those who still remember me, know my preference for pocket watches.

    I started to reorganize my collection and found an interesting piece.

    The picture shows a more or less ordinary c.52, but something is differernt.

    Question(s): Do you find what is differernt, and do you have seen other c.52 with this feature ...

    regards

    Ralph

    Uncommon c.52 feature

    I do see something not common, will try to explain it ( in English it is more difficult ). Normally, on the spring, there is a kind of piece that withholds the spring to unwind. Here this it is not seen, or is different. Is that the special feature ?

    Oh how dissapointing, the first one has seen the difference:
    The "stop click" (Sperrklinke in German) is similar to those used in the c.57.

    I have never seen it before on a c.52.

    congratulation
