One of the classics
The 1120/2120/28-255 is for me one of the classic movements. I admit that I am a fan of the movements used in the 50/60, even if they were not what one would today call "in house". To these I also could the older 1071/2071 that had the rotor on rollers on the rotor rather than on the base plate, the very slim 1003/2003 and the robust 1001/1002 ( or 2001/2002 in AP speak). Add to them the small 23-300 and the venerable 27-460 from Patek and I am in vintage heaven 
. Not that others did not make interesting and very capable movements, but from an design point of view I find them all graphically very nice drawn and finished.

Hello together Just wanted to share this nice found with you : It's a beautiful dress watch powered by the well known AP 2120 movement . It always sounds as if it would be broken because of the sound made by the rotor support but it runs flawlessly and al...
No, what sounds are the rubies on which the rotor is running. Here you can see where the ruby wheels are. Same movement from VC 1120.
It is a crystal sound when the rotor runs. Not the best pic, i found no other without the rotor. Here you see it from the dial side. ...

Very elegant!
Interesting to see a automatic watch without a seconds hand. Best Blomman
The old days
You might be surprised, but both iconic sport watches from Patek and AP, the Royal Oak and the Nautilus had no second hands in their initial iteration, being powered by almost the same movement as this one. They used however the 2121/28-255C variant that ...
Indeed!
But still, most two handed watches you see are with manual movements. Best Blomman
My oldie from the nineties
Nearly the same movement, save for the date (cal 2121), Ref 14995. That doesnˋt annoy me. I know that ´scratching´ sound, something I was wondering why it is never mentioned. Is this also the fact when the movement is housed in the Jumbo Royal Oak 15202? ...
