🕰️ 1. What is Fusee & Full Hunter?

Fusee is a conical mechanism that distributes the force from the mainspring evenly, improving accuracy throughout the operating time even as the force gradually decreases.

Full Hunter means that the watch case has a protective cover on the front (sometimes also a back cover), which protects the dial from dirt and impact - a prominent feature of high-end watches
