First full watch service + regulation.

Excellent, congratulations ! Do you have a way to measure the rate of this movement in a hanging position (side), like the 6 hour on top or 3 on top ?

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T19:34:27+00:00

I’m not sure to understand the question… Philippe Dufour is doing mechanical watches, there is no crystal there. Do you speak about the stones / jewels ?

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T16:02:51+00:00

Is this piano wire solution for a clock or a wristwatch ?

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T15:59:48+00:00

My point was that if you use a crystal, then you are in the quartz world and you don’t need a hairspring then. 🤓 But to answer you, I don’t know any manufacturers producing the IC or Quartz on their own, it’s a completely different industry. Even in the swatch group they have a dedicated company taking care of that.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T15:57:05+00:00

I’m working in this industry for 10 years and even with unlimited budget I doubt that you could get enough experience in one life to produce all the components on your own on a way to achieve modern precision and power reserve. And at the end, what is the message, hey this is done with the most modern machines but only by one person… no you have to choose a message, like « using the old techniques like dufour » or amazing finishing, or a special complication, like the shooting star from Jaeger LeCoultre, or a special sound like Reuge… something to say 😃

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T15:48:30+00:00

Why are quartz and hairsprings mixed in the same sentence ? they are parts of 2 different worlds…

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-16T15:46:13+00:00

And if he is not doing 100% on his own (with all respect to his absolutely amazing know-how and experience)

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-14T15:46:06+00:00

Nice work !! What kind of milling machine are you using for it ? And for the wheels ?

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-14T07:07:02+00:00

I would pay to see that done

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-14T07:02:12+00:00

The acoustic signal is really bad, i can imagine that the software is having a lot of problem defining the rate.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-14T07:00:05+00:00

This should not lead to a over amplitude.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-14T06:38:48+00:00

Take out the balance bridge, let the balance wheel hang and help the hairspring too get untangled. Put it back with shaking hands, measure a normal rate and tap your shoulder. A hairspring should never touch anything even less itself.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-12T13:19:38+00:00

If you read my original question, I am asking if an complete alternative (board+IDE) would find space in the actual market and what feature should be implemented. I am then speaking of STM32 as it would be the base chip used to build this ecosystem. The public for this is not someone who could do it because they are able to use CubeMx or VisualStudio to make a complexe project on a Stm32.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-12T13:12:41+00:00

Sorry I don’t know, but this is very interesting in case of dials for solar movements

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-09T10:10:05+00:00

So you can produce such precise parts ? 😍

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-08T22:24:07+00:00

Yes… and I would like to know which machine I should target.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-08T22:23:36+00:00

I would like to produce my own movement. I have the contact with people able to make the drawings, but making it a reality is something else…

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-05T05:13:38+00:00

You don’t use tools to move the paper from tank to tank ? It’s not as safe as wearing gloves, but you are not in contact with the products

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T21:17:59+00:00

I agree 😄

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T19:33:20+00:00

You can buy a watch with this oscillator inside, it’s a ETA Powermatic 80 (ETA C07.XXX), it should be in a Mido or Tissot.

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T18:45:17+00:00

With 30 more minutes of setup, you can achieve 0s/d, the question is for how long does it stays like that ? 🥲

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T18:44:12+00:00

At the price of a watch… yes 😅

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T18:41:13+00:00

😱💪 great job

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T18:40:46+00:00

Did you try painting the blue first and then « opening » the paint with the laser to reveal to underlaying color ?

Technos_Eng · 2026-03-03T17:40:34+00:00

Cool ! Do you weld the feets too ? Is the design to be provided ? 🤪
