Hourglass Tank Small Second
by zrhbrg
"A truly unique tank with an hourglass dial"
1930
This movement of this timepiece comes from the Wyler company witch was founded by Paul Wyler in 1896. It was known for its rugged and shockproof movements and models.
Paul Wyler gained seven patents for his innovations. So in 1927 he invented the โIncaflex balance springโ, which was resistant to impact, and in 1932 received for this a patent. The two spokes of the balance wheel had been made serpentine and of an elastic alloy. As a result, the pivot of the balance staff was better protected against lateral impact.
Worldwide attention was attracted by a spectacular Wyler marketing campaign in 1956, when two watches were allowed to fall from the top of the Eiffel Tower and still functioned unchanged after the fall.
In early eras, many watches were not branded as they were not considered as lifestyle products, but a tool.This watch is from such an era. The high level of craftsmanship can be seen at the details on the dial and the quality of the casing. A truly unique high quality timepiece.
