The Gustav Becker 400-day watch, also known as the "Anniversary" watch, is one of the famous German mechanical watches, produced around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The outstanding feature of this line of watches is the "torsion pendulum" mechanism, which allows the watch to operate continuously for about 400 days without needing to be wound again.
