Kienzle 051d53

Description

This movement with a pointed balance staff and without shock protection is a very simple but very rugged movement. Technically, it is nothing special, and with its decentral small second, it already has a vintage touch.
It was probably produced in the early seventies and used in the famous “Kienzle alfa” line.
