and blued hands

included in the kit
to assemble the dial.

to remove.
Polished Stainless steel Hands

that are also available lend your Mechanica
M2 an individualized look and clearly enhance the dial.
They have been ground and polished elaborately by hand. Thanks

Pierced Dial
This dial includes a cutaway that allows a free view of the
escapement
*
, the heart of your Mechanica M2, which usually
remains hidden from view.
This view is naturally that much more attractive when your
escapement has been upgraded to include the lavishly finished
version with Screw balance
*
, blued balance spring
*
, and blued
screws. With this additional equipment, your Mechanica M2 will be
entirely reminiscent of the precision pendulum clocks Erwin Sattler
manufactures, which allow a free view of the escapement
*
.
