Valjoux 92 Description

The Valjoux 92 is a manual-wind, column-wheel chronograph movement produced by Valjoux SA in Switzerland. It is renowned for its use of an oscillating pinion, which provided a more economical manufacturing solution without sacrificing the crisp pusher feel of a column-wheel system. This movement was widely adopted by numerous watch brands during its production, contributing to the popularity of sport chronographs in the mid-20th century.
