For decades the company specialized as an atelier Manufacture finishing and assembling movements for other watchmakers, with each successive generation of master watchmakers passing down their expertise to the next generation.
And when you happily discover not only a large supply of historic movements in an old company warehouse, but also the original tools, machinery and notes to work on them, you can create a new series of watches based on these classic calibres, the Armand Nicolet O.H.M (Original Historical Movement) collection.

One of the new watches that Armand Nicolet has announced in anticipation for Baselworld 2014 is such a timepiece, the limited edition L14 O.H.M. This contemporary styled timepiece bears a grey openworked dial that proudly displays the 1957 Unita UT 600 movement used as the base of the mechanical hand-wound Calibre AN 0711C, which has 18 jewels and a 36-hour power reserve.
The base movement has not only been restored and reassembled by hand, but also tuned and decorated using a mix of traditional processes and modern high precision machinery, creating a historic movement that matches modern calibres for precision and reliability.
