Wow! I didn't realise there were more changes other than the free sprung balance and silicon hairspring... Thanks for the info, jkingston!

It is true that the caliber 1150 began with Frederic Piguet in the era when it was commonly owned with Blancpain (and commonly managed as well). Since then Blancpain fully merged Piguet into Blancpain and has made so many major changes to the 1150 that it...
