Co-Axial In house?
Sorry if this is a silly question but is the Co-Axial movement fully in house?

Under any reasonable definition of the term "in house" I would confidently answer yes.

The earlier ones are modified ETA movements. Cal 2500 is basically a 2892 with a different escapement.
The new 8500, 9300, etc were developed with a lot of help from ETA, don't know if it's a true in-house but doesn't really matter IMO. |

You also have different versions in the Cal 2500. 2500c and 2500d
Where the 2500c has a two level escape wheel and the 2500d is said to have a three level co-axial escapement as in the cal 8500. Which separates the function of the small escape wheel and the escape pinion into two dedicated components. |

Cal 2500
You have 2 versions of the Cal 2500.
The 2500c has a two level escape wheel (also called the 'extra flat co-axial escapement' by George Daniels). The 2500d is said to have a three level co-axial escapement, as in the cal 8500, which separates the function of the small escape wheel and the escape pinion into two dedicated components. |
