Description

This is probably the simplest selfwinding movement, ever made: The korean (with japanese parts) caliber 26 (other speak of caliber 2604 here) from Q&Q is in many parts made of plastic. The escapement is plastic, the balance bearings, the selfwindig plates and springs and the gears unter the dial.

It is pretty astonishing, that this movement was able to run for several years, but the watches and their large sings of wearing proof this.
