Girard Perregaux: We're getting closer :o)

Hello Peter, yes in this case you're right. But what if you use the second wheel to display the small second at 9 without the second hand pinion like on the picture with only a single third wheel. You definitly will have less engagements in your going train.

Girard Perregaux: More technical...

Hey Peter, hmm... that's not really what I meant, but also nice pictures of course. In part 2 you showed us a picture with details of the different variations of seconds. And if GP produces the second at 9 they perhaps will have different torques and though different amplitudes at the balance-wheel.

Girard Perregaux: Thank you Peter

Hello Peter, first I wanna thank you for this indepth look. I was wondering about how GP will provide the same moment with the central second position with a double third wheel, but with the second at 9 with a singular third wheel? Because in my opinion they will have practically one engagement more
