Cal. MST 253 Cal. MST 277

Remarks: An unusal 10.5 ligne movement in terms of barrel bridge layout. Shares balance, lever, escape, mainsping and many other parts with the MST202. Not considered a variation of the MST202 family as the train gears differ. MST 253 was listed as obsolete in 1933, the 277 was not, probably the 277 was a replacement for the 253.
