Need some help identifying a common base movement!
Hi All,
I wonder if any our experts can help me identify the base caliber used in these two watches? Up first is the beautiful manual-wind Bulgari L'Ammiraglio del Tempo with a 4-gong Westminster Chime Minute Repeater and Detent Escapement. Here's a picture of the dial (picture credit: ablogtowatch):
The second watch is the automatic Jorg Hysek Symphony, again a Westminster Chime Minute Repeater but this time with a Tourbillon:
Two very different looking watches for sure! But when we take a look at their movements, we see some striking similarities (no pun intended). First, the Bulgari DR 7301 caliber:
Next, the Jorg Hysek Symphony movement:
These clearly look very similar from the back! I'm curious if anyone knows who made this base caliber? My best guess might be BNB Concepts before they went into bankruptcy? A second guess would be Christophe Claret? I'd love any help on this one!
Cheers,
NickO

It might be “the base” but it’s certainly not basic!
Westminster movement is indeed very lovely. Cazalea
The Bvlgari Westminster sounds so spectacular.
A very different kind of MR of its own league.
