Although jaz marketed luxurious clocks and alarm clocks before the war, the luxury jaz category to which this ridic belongs, did not appear until 1951 when the ab caliber was put into service. This mechanical movement offered in world exclusive the possibility to vary the ringing time in three positions: permanent stop, short ringtone 5s' or long ringtone 20s'. The ab caliber has a single key to reassemble movement and ring, as a single spring animates both functions, with consequences for the clock's autonomy depending on the ringing time chosen thanks to the small button with a needle indicator: 60, 58 or 40 hours. In 1956 two additional variants appeared: black lacquered, ref. 769-33 or silver style ref. 769-43 with scenes of polychrome chinese lives on the front doors and a stylized chinese décor on the gold-on-silver dial.
