SETTING
Setting refers to the set of actions carried out on the regulating organ and escapement to optimize the operation and, most importantly, the precision of the movement and the watch. There exist various setting methods, usually related to the design of the movement. It is said that a “watch is well-set” when it is precise.
SETTING
Normally, refers to all the operations needed to complete a component or a manufacturing process. Over time, the term has become specifically used to refer to all the adjustment operations of the various functions of the escapement.
REGULATION BY MODIFICATION OF THE ACTIVE LENGTH OF THE BALANCE SPRING
The method used to adjust the timekeeping of the watch is defined during the design of the movement. One of these methods involves modifying the active length of the balance spring. Increasing it reduces the frequency of the balance wheel’s oscillations, which creates a delay in timekeeping. Reducing it increases the frequency of the balance wheel’s oscillations, creating an advance in the running of a watch.
REGULATION BY MODIFICATION OF THE BALANCE WHEEL’S MOMENT OF INERTIA
Normally, refers to all the operations needed to complete a component or a manufacturing process. Over time, the term has become specifically used to refer to all the adjustment operations of the various functions of the escapement.
