Rare Complication FHF76 Avia

[spoilsofwar01]

I thought I'd share a early Complication watch that own, its a Avia Adjuster

This movement is a very rare variant of the FHF76 (Fabrique d'Horlogerie de Fontainemelon) which can be regulated without the need to remove the case back this would have been for adjustment in different climates, one press of the pushers will advance or retard the timing by 6 seconds over 24hrs, the watch dates from the late 50's to the early 60's, Id been interested to learn more about other complications. so lets see them.

My local watch maker was aware of them working on this but had never seen one on his bench, he looked hopefully at me and asked " Can I open it" it was an absolute pleasure sharing this with him, he had to sit down when I told him I only paid £8 for it
