SETTING

 

Adjustment consists in a large part of adjusting all the components of the escapement. A relatively large part of this work will be the escapement-making, that is to say the adjustment of the anchor, in particular with its pallets that can be taken out or put in, but also the adjustment of the anchor on the balance wheel. The adjustment and balancing of the balance wheel will also be an important part and also the centering and flattening of the balance spring.

 

ESCAPEMENT-MAKING

Escapement-making consists of adjusting the various angles of the pallets. In particular by entering or leaving the pallets

STATIC SETTING

Static setting consists of adjusting the speed of the balance wheel in various positions to a normal amplitude, i.e. more than 270 degrees.

DYNAMIC SETTING

Dynamic setting consists of adjusting the balance of the balance at low frequency, less than 180 degrees, in the four vertical positions.
