This technology was developed in order to design a new type of battery-operated movement offering greater precision than mechanical calibres, which at the time was groundbreaking. In the photo of this watch's caliber, we can see the two tuning fork coils vibrating 300 times per second and the mention of the American brand. Below, a photo showing the famous part that makes all the magic of this caliber: the tuning fork.
