davethecat Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Valjoux 72 & variants run at 18000bph. The 72 is a 18K a/H movement. The 726 and the 727 are 21.6K a/H. If you are trying to do a project watch, the difference in bph is of no consequence. The very small seconds register gives practically no clue as to bph. A much larger, longer seconds hand would allow you to count the seconds per minute. Hint: if you find yourself doing the latter, please check into you employer's EAP program. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Dave -- I think it was just the 727 that ran at 21,600. This movement was fitted with a new balance and the beat was increased for greater precision. Previous 72x movements (including the 726) ran at 18,000.

Guest avitt Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I also believe that the 726 runs at 18,000 bph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
