However, Michelmayr and Brailsford have seem to have loftier ambitions,

and have entered into a partnership with Strehler’s UhrTeil to provide a

newly-designed and exclusive base movement, which will be unveiled in

a new manual wind watch later this year. While UhrTeil will supply the

ebauche parts, the movement will be fully assembled and finished by the

Garrick team in Norwich, and will include Michelmayr’s free sprung balance

on show on the dial side (see schematic above – though note the design is

not finalised). QP understands that the movement carries the possibility

of adding complications.

Strehler is set to be present with at SalonQP with Garrick, who are exhibiting

for the first time, and will be debuting new watches the Norfolk and the

Garrick Regulator. Both continue the use of substantially modified Unitas

movements, in the latter case replacing the gear train and reversing the

movement to display the Garrick balance through the dial.
