Double hairspring advantage...
When the Henry was released in 2007, I was told there was not enough room for a breguet overcoil, seems like that may have changed now. Maybe I was not listening properly. To answer your question, the double hairspring oscillates in opposite direction and hence negates the effects of gravity acting on any single hairspring. BTW, there's a video of the double hairspring in action a few thread down. This message has been edited by Wylie194 on 2009-05-18 06:25:52
H.MOSER & CIE The New "Fume" Dials (Smokey Dial) in Palladium Cases

that 'Fume' fade out has a very 70's look to it, not a bad thing.
my main question though is about the Henry. what advantage is there in a double hairspring? if i've missed a post please just direct me. cheers Graham
excellent question.....of which the answer i know not of
it would be very interesting to find out if a double hairspring indeed confers any timing advantages to the watch if any.

thanks for the detailed explaination....
thanks for the detailed explaination. i understand it now which is far more than i did before. is this the hairspring for all watches in the future? best Graham
Very informative post
Great to see actual data. To clarify something on the graph: is that the location of the CoG?
I really like them.
I think it's a nice idea from Moser to put such dials because sometimes I find the Moser watches a bit too sober. With them, they get a touch of originality. Fr.Xavier
"Fumé" needs to be written with an acute accent on the "e".
Then it becomes apparent that it is the French word for "smoked" or "smoky" - perhaps the Francophones among our number can verify this? Great shots and report, Decksurgeon. Thank you. Cheers Tony P
correct sir...and if there are any technophiles
that could perhaps advise me how to perform this keystroke on a Mac keyboard. would be very grateful indeed
