Bagnolet

Is a term used to refer to a specific type of watch movement, known as the Bagnolet calibre. The Bagnolet calibre is a historical mechanical movement that was commonly used in pocket watches during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is named after the French town of Bagnolet, which was known for its production of high-quality watch movements. The Bagnolet calibre is characterized by its compact size and simple construction, making it popular for use in smaller pocket watches. It typically features a manual winding mechanism and basic timekeeping functions, such as hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds. While less common in modern watches, the Bagnolet calibre holds historical significance in the development of watchmaking and represents a specific era in horological craftsmanship.
