We have a question about the different size at the double svan necks in Cosmopolite movement.
Got some answer today from GO. We have a technical and aesthetic aspect here. The anchor symmetry is adjusted by means of the screw on the one spring and is read on the opposite pointer. The second spring forms an optical counterpart in the sense of symme...
Thank you Sir! But...
Let me say that I find the thing a little bizarre: as a solution it would have been more elegant the use a single bridge for the balance wheel and avoid a second bridge and swan neck that have no functionality. The chronometer's movement is splendid even ...
I also noticed this change that came with the (laudable) move to a free-sprung balance. However...
It lead to this compromise whereby GO had to come up with a solution to retain its visual identity. When Lange switched to using a free-sprung balance (new models started with the RL around 2006) they retained the functionality of the swan-neck fine adjus...
Hi Brandon! For sure the double swan neck is, with the Panorama Date, the identity card of GO.
Given that the Cosmopolite is the only model in the Senator collection to mount the double swan neck, it wouldn't have particularly affected the identity of the collection. Of course this "base caliber" is used in the Pano collection, like the PanomaticLu...
Good point about this being in the Senator collection which tends to not have the double swan neck.
I tend to forget distinctions between a brand’s collections. Cheers, Brandon
