I didn't know you could have a rattrapante movement off a Venus 170. What do you make of what looks like a spring around the post for the hands?

Modified 170, Dubey & Schaldebrand did something similar. This isn't strictly a vintage piece, one of the Schneider reissues of the early 90s, can't comment on the spring because on my phone I can't see it.

Never seen such a system on a vintage ! Is it a Breitling SA improvement or used before on V170 ?

Done for Breitling I believe (remember this was pre Kelek), not sure who did it.
