The Otsuka Lotec No. 8 features a complex hourly animation where a jumping hour mechanism and a flywheel-linked minute fader synchronize their movements beneath a layered crystal, complemented by a seconds disk that rotates every 90 seconds. This mechanical choreography is driven by a MIYOTA movement equipped with a custom 62-component module that utilizes cutting-edge hardware, including two 2.5 mm ball bearings and a world-record 1.5 mm ball bearing from MinebeaMitsumi to ensure fluid operation.
