====== Bagnolet ======
A **bagnolet** movement is one in which the [[balance]] is on the dial-side of the movement.

[[Meylan, Phillippe-Samuel|Phillippe-Samuel Meylan]] developed the bagnolet concept in [[1800]]. It permitted a larger [[balance wheel]] to be used, increasing accuracy. The [[dial]] was affixed to the [[case]] rather than the movement, with a complete [[plate]] on the rear side.

[[Ditesheim, Isidore|Isidore Ditesheim]] adopted the bagnolet concept in [[1912]] for the curved [[Movado]] [[Movado Polyplan|Polyplan]] movement, [[Movado 400|Cal. 400]]. This movement has three different planes, angled 25º apart, but benefit from the larger balance wheel as in Meylan's pocket watch.

Technically, [[Glashütte Original]]'s [[Glashütte Original PanoInverse|PanoInverse]] [[GO 66|Cal. 66]] is a bagnolet movement, though there is no independent dial fitted.
