Lévy / Eclipse Type 5 18''' Cyl.

74 views

18”’ | Hand Wind | Cylinder | Small Seconds |

Remarks:

  • Various movements are considered to be from Lévy / Eclipse because of these similarities:
    • Very big minute and hour wheels in line with the winding stem
    • Similar, evolving shapes of the minute wheel cover plate
  • To distinguish these movements I named them ‘type x’. Type x is not an official caliber designation.
    See extra picture for an overview.
