Indexless balance
Hi all, Linked to my thread in the IWC forum, I have been reading about the IWC 52000 family of movements. The company talk about the use of an indexless balance as a positive. It may be that I do not understand what an indexless balance is but I thought ...
I tired researching but not too much Joy
Let me know if you come across anything! BW, Chi Kai
The term "indexless balance" is imprecise terminology and the root of your confusion.
The 52000-series is free-sprung, and they no-doubt meant that it does not have a curb-pin regulator (sometimes called an index regulator). Hope this helps. Brandon
Ah!
That clears it up! In photos of the movement, I can see some screws in the balance wheel. So the “indexless” term does not refer to the screws/ weight on the balance wheel but refers to the regulator pin? Thank you! BW, Chi Kai
