The A. Schild 1542 is a mechanical watch movement featuring a pin-lever escapement and a ratchet on the dial side. It incorporates a crown mechanism with a rocker bar for convenient time setting. To ensure durability, the movement employs shock protection through elastical spiral-shaped balance spokes. A notable characteristic is the separate driving mechanism for the train and hand gear, which are both powered by the barrel. The A. Schild 1542 movement is manually wound and equipped with a sweep second hand. It utilizes a pin lever system and was commonly used around the 1960s.
