Figure confirmation...
Mar 03, 2003,03:15 AM
Our source confirmed that 3500 movements caliber 817 includes 500 movements caliber 837 and that the 53500 movements caliber 497 includes 1000 movements caliber 827.
So if we insist on breaking the figure down (may affect small accuracies of rounding up or down), it should be:
Calibre 817 --- 3,000 movements
Calibre 837 --- 500 movements
Calibre 497 --- 52,500 movements
Calibre 827 --- 1,000 movements
Hope it helps.
