Kan det nu passe?

Kom til at tænke på Cristians mening om dette >>>>

"Having read George Daniels biography over the holidays, I am sort of curious how he would interpret this… He claimed that his watches could go 15 years without a service and keep their accuracy, and weren’t in need of lubrication. Surely his watches had a balance, jewels, jewel caps, etc. and needed oil in all those vital places.

I do of course understand his argument about the friction between the escape wheel and the pallet stones, and why the co-axial escapement is better in that respect. But all the rest is just a normal mechanical watch, with the same need for lubrication and cleanliness."



"So – does the co-axial movement need less servicing? In principal yes, but practically, no.

Does it keep better accuracy over time? Not in this case

Is it more accurate than the non-co-axial version? Not really.

But, it’s a technically interesting movement, and I can see the theoretical advantage of the co-axial escapement. "
