GLYCINE AUTOMATIC

Early automatic caliber from the beginning of the 1930's, patents was filed in 1930. The first version was signed Eugene Meylan (E.M.S.A) and uses a Venus caliber 60-II as a base caliber movement, slightly modified with removed crown wheel to fit in the automatic module. The pictured movement and watch is a later example from what we believe in the end of the -30's and have a different movement, probably an inhouse Glycine 8.75''' which was made especially to be a automatic movement without crown wheel and winding pinion (see pictures).
