Bernex – NOS FHF Cal. 64 Manual Wind Movement – Ligne 8¾" – Missing Hour Wheel


📌 Description

The Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon (FHF) Caliber 64 ladies’ manual‑wind movement was introduced in the early 1960s. It uses a classical construction with a direct‑driven minute wheel, combined with a directly‑driven center seconds hand. This stacked architecture gives the movement a “double‑decker” design, making it relatively thick for its small diameter.

The movement features Incabloc shock protection on the movement side, an additional shock system on the dial side, and cap‑jewel support for the escapement wheel. The winding system uses a traditional yoke mechanism.

This example appears to be missing the hour wheel.

🔍 Compatibility & Use — For Reference Only

The FHF 64 was commonly used in mid‑century ladies’ mechanical watches from a wide range of Swiss private‑label and jewelry‑store brands. Because many small Swiss manufacturers sourced ébauches from FHF, this movement appears in:

  • Unbranded Swiss ladies’ watches
  • Jewelry‑store private‑label watches
  • Small Swiss fashion and boutique brands
  • Vintage mechanical dress watches using 8¾"’ movements

*Always verify dimensions, dial feet, hand sizes, and stem height before installation. This section is for general reference only — no specific brand compatibility is guaranteed.*
