Hard Skills
AdvancedEscapement Put-in-Beat AdjustmentThe precise process of aligning the balance spring collet so that the impulse pin is perfectly centered between the pallet fork horns, ensuring symmetrical oscillations.
IntermediateChronocomparator OperationProficiency in using electronic timing machines to analyze the rate, amplitude, and beat error of mechanical watch movements.
ExpertMicro-Tool ManipulationExpert use of high-precision tools such as anti-magnetic tweezers, micro-screwdrivers, and loupes for adjusting components measured in microns.
IntermediateTechnical Blueprint InterpretationThe ability to read and follow horological technical drawings and tolerance specifications for escapement geometry.
IntermediateVisual Defect IdentificationUsing high-magnification optics to detect microscopic burrs, dust, or lubricant migration within the escapement mechanism.
