Thanks a lot for sharing, this is extremely interesting, to me at least!
Some practical findings for me personally based on this balance power table: - I always suspected that Bulgari thin movements were not designed to deliver great rate results, and the table proves this; - I always suspected that the Breguet's 10-Hz caliber...
Thanks for giving a heads-up to this article
This is really good stuff for us non-watchmakers. I was happy to see the JLC 877 represented- a driving force in getting my Panerai 190.
Very cool! Thanks
I was wondering why so many watches “underperformed” (darker yellow) until I realized that Harrison’s H4 was in the mix! The GOAT watch/clock.
Can you elaborate on your question?
What kind of errors and to which ratios are you referring? A remontoire’s only function is to ensure that the strength of the impulse to the balance is consistent throughout the power reserve.
If the movement was adjusted to run within COSC parameters, then yes.
That’s the idea behind the remontoire in the Lange 31 and RL Terraluna. But keep in mind that while the remontoire will keep impulse (and therefore amplitude and balance power) stable throughout the power reserve, it doesn’t necessarily mean those values ...
