I have pulled apart many SF240 travel clocks, non alarm, single alarm, alarm with calendar, two some, four some, six some, globes, steering wheels, cubes and what not.
One thing that I noticed today, haven't thought about it before, is that the frame, hands, everything on the dial has the same plating colour as the train wheels....
The only thing is that the ones with blue hands has blue hands, nothing else.
The frames, the hands, the back of the clocks, knobs, all wheels, everything matches...sometimes even the screws..the filled engraving on the plates matches as well.
Engravings, these are also interesting. Some plates are not engraved at all, some has Angelus, some has Angelus 15 jewels, some has Angelus 15 jewels Swiss Made, some has the works engraved, Angelus 15 jewels Swiss Made Unadjusted.
Those made for others were marked Tiffany & Co., Abercrombie & Fitch, Concorde, Mathey-Tissot and most likely a few more.
Four different grades were made, from simple finish to high finish with beveled details, polished parts.
I have seen two deviations, one with 7 jewels and one with 11 jewels and another type of plating, or none.
I find it interesting.

That’s cool. I’ve never even thought about that. I’m superficial that way. I just picture the movement naked without clothes on.

All variants made by angelus, to order, with various finishes depending on price point?
