The cylinder movement Kasper 100 is from german pre-WWII production.

Unlike most other contemporary cylinder movements, this one already uses silver-toned plates and bridges.

The Kasper 100 uses 6 ruby bearings / cap jewels: Four for the balance and two for the bearing of the cylinder wheel.

On the dial side, you can see the rocking bar winding mechanism and the very simple click mechanism, which consists only of a simple spring.
