You're very welcome...
It's a good thing that this is not UN's project. Just imagine: New model> Freak with missing teeth
Oh and thanks for the beer

New Patek Escapement
A couple of pics posted previously by Suitbert and Velociphile: Abstract of WO2004008258 The invention concerns an escapement device comprising two means (11, 21; 32, 22) for locking the mechanical torque and two means for unlocking (42, 22; 42, 32) that ...
Mishko.....
...thanks soooooo much for this post and all your efforts with the illustrations . It's an extremely interesting device IMO and well worth some discussion. When I first saw the drawings I was puzzled about it's complexity. Some striking aspects, like the ...
holy cow
Hello Mishko, Thanks so much for posting this. I am completely nonplussed I must admit, but intrigued as well. Thanks! _john
Will this end the Chapter one of the Advanced Research "Triology"
Will this be the upcoming 5450J from the PP Advanced Research (PPAR)? I believe that the new reference should be called 5450, in YG and limited with 500pcs ;-) It is the result of my "simple logical" thinking. Actually, Suitbert (or anyone), do you have a...
Rotor > clarification
When the rotor's axis of magnetization (indicated by the arrow) is on the same axis as the recesses, the rotor is in position of unstable balance. That's the second locking point S2. The position of stable balance is perpendicular to it. When the rotor is...
Just wondering... is using magnetization a good idea?
Is using magnetization in escapment mechanism a good idea? Personally, I tend to believe it is not. Quartz movement makes use of magnetized rotor... that's may be reason I tend to think that using magnetized part is kind of inferior... anyway, just IMHO. ...
well, since a huge number of the functional bits in the escapement are silicon...
And presumably the hairspring is as well, why not?
