MSE Movements - Schwarz-Etienne

MSE Movements

A mechanical, manual winding movement, the MSE (Manual Schwarz Etienne) caliber is distinguished by its patented modular main plate designed to accommodate either an additional barrel (MSE - manual version) or a module with a micro-rotor (ASE - automatic version). The double barrel configuration distributes a powerful and consistent force. Its power reserve, allowing for a range of up to 96 hours, offers exceptional dependability. Its variable inertia balance guarantees precision, reliability and regularity. Its structure is characterized by a construction formed of six bridges. The properties of the MSE caliber make it an excellent base movement to accommodate various modules with complications, for example a power reserve indicator. Any of which can be integrated into the volume of the base caliber.
