Brand: Signet
Signet AM30 is a watch movement, or the mechanical engine that powers a wristwatch, by the Swiss watchmaker Signet. It belongs to the automatic (self-winding) category of movements, meaning that it is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist rather than by a battery or external mechanism. The AM30 is a relatively recent addtion to Signet's range of watch movements, having been introduced in 2019 as part of their AM Series. It features a central hour, minute, and seconds display, as well as a date function that is displayed through an aperture at the 3 o'clock position. The movement measures 25.6mm in diameter and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, meaning that it can continue running for up to a week and a half without being wound.Some notable features of the AM30 include its high level of accuracy - it is rated as a chronometer, with a deviation of -4 / +6 seconds per day - and its use of top-quality materials throughout. The movement is decorated with traditional Geneva-style finishing, including Côtes de Genève (Geneva stripes) and perlage (hatching) patterns on the plate and bridges, as well as blued screws and high-polished bevels. It is also robustly assembled, with features such as a patented integrated shield against unwanted magnetic fields and a screwed-in barrel.Overall, Signet's AM30 movement represents a strong first step for the brand in the high-end watch movement space, combining traditional watchmaking techniques with modern technology and materials to create a reliable, accurate, and visually stunning engine for timepieces.
