FHF 691 (Standard)

Description

The “Standard” caliber 691 of the Fabrique d’Horlogerie de Fontainemelon bases on the common FHF caliber 69 and added a center second hand to it.

Since the available space is very low on these form movements, the FHF had to use an extraordinary solution: The fourth wheel indirectly drives a wheel on the top of the main plate, which itselfs drives the center second pinion.

The rest of the caliber 691 is identical to the FHF caliber 69.
