Dynamic Poising, 7: Adjusting an Illinois “Bunn Special” to Essentially Perfect Accuracy in 6 Positions

If a watch runs well—it is clean, free of flaws, and running with good amplitude—it can usually be adjusted to be more accurate across different positions. And then we have… Read more »

Dynamic Poising, 6: Contrasting Dynamic & Static Poising (Or, “Why Would a Smooth, Modern Balance Wheel Ever Be Out of Poise?”)

At this point in the how-to series, it’s worth stepping back and contrasting dynamic and static poising to help illuminate the value of modern dynamic poising and even modern, smooth… Read more »

Dynamic Poising, 5: Finding the Balance Wheel’s Heavy Spot

We need to find the balance wheel’s heavy spot to put it in poise. So far, we’ve discussed some of the principles involved in doing this and worked through some… Read more »
