01 / 03 · Setting

Turn the crown.
The train follows.

One motion at the crown and every wheel answers: hours, minutes and the small seconds move together.

02 / 03 · Running

Eight beats
every second.

The balance swings 290° and back, releasing the escape wheel one tooth at a time for three days.

03 / 03 · Closer

Nothing hidden.
Nothing idle.

Open-worked bridges, hand-bevelled edges, and a movement you can read like a map.

IIRegulation

A heartbeat,eight a second.

A gold balance and a blue hairspring swing 290° each way; the pallet fork frees one escape tooth per swing. That is all of timekeeping.

Five wheels,one ratio.

Barrel to escape wheel, every mesh multiplies the last: the arithmetic that turns three days of spring into seconds.
