Category: Interesting Movements
Octava / Graizely 8 Days Movement
Movements with a power reserve of more than one or two days were rather unusual in pocket watches and wristwatches for a long time. Their wearers were accustomed to winding their watches every day. Of course, there have always been exceptions, such as movements with multiple barrels or Hebdomas watches. Another exception is watches that were used when traveling or in cars or airplanes.

Some time ago, I presented a pocket watch with dead beat seconds. Today I’m going to talk about a movement for wristwatches with this complication, the Chézard 116.
