This escapement has two hairline springs at 90º which bend in two distinct positions and this discrete behavior transmits constant force to the balance wheel, increasing repeatability per beat and thus time precision.

I'm confused I thought the whole idea of a silicon oscillator was to get rid of the hairspring and this one has a hairspring and an oscillator? Weird.

I need to see more. I am supposed to be sleeping, have to go to work in 5 hours. I’ll be ok.

[@MsBrooklynDecker]

it is a kind of magic!

[@benjorgensen1]

what is this manufacturing process called? are they using lasers to cut these gears now, or is it something even more precise and new?

[@mmaluchnik]

Photolithography on silicon wafers like how they make computer chips.

Guy is there something that can describe the amount of.... Power or energy a watch has before it has to be winded again... Doesn't this take the energy up more then a normal watch would? Which means that a normal watch would keep moving longer then this

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Power reserve is the word you are looking for.

[@garf6615]

Far out!

[@niraviv5]

is this a tourbillon?

[@ZurriyetBlogs]

Old sistem, new only palet fox( dont have bridge)

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Palette fork?

[@maxlol0]

Wtf. Am i seeing something which has self sustaining power? Where's the power source?

[@maximilianlindner]

+maxlol0 Of course not...

[@karlzhao314]

It's a watch escapement. It's not complete. Inside a watch there would be a gear train that terminates with a spiral spring to power it, but these are just models so they could be powered by any source of rotary power.

Lol

[@TheOfficialCzex]

@@georgegl3192 Let's see you take a few years to design a watch.

[@silverghost4206]

@@TheOfficialCzex gone are the days.... Of good ole craftmanship.. Look at those vintage watches.. Of any brand... Cannot be beat...
