Synopsis

Master the art of timing in watches with this classic guide to the balance spring and its adjustments.

This hands‑on volume explains how the balance spring fits into the watch’s timing system and how to apply and adjust it for accuracy. It covers the science behind vibration, isochronism, and temperature effects, and walks you through practical methods to refine a watch’s beat and steadiness.

- Learn how the balance spring controls vibration, and what factors affect rate and stability
- Discover different spring shapes and how they influence performance, including overcoils and special forms
- Get step‑by‑step guidance on assembling, centering, and adjusting the spring for temperature and isochronism
- See how to test beat, adjust for positions, and optimize regulator screws and springs for reliable accuracy

Ideal for readers who work with watches, chronometers, or timing mechanisms and want a detailed, hands‑on reference for balance springs, compensation balances, and precise isochronism and temperature adjustments.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
