  • @petchharrison Only appears. in the last vids inside, you can see how its works properly. Only appear together in the pics. Thanks for posting and watching.

  • I've always found the duplex escapement rather interesting. It's somewhat more accurate than a cylinder escapement and some can be timed to advance exactly once every second.

  • Thanks for posting Douro20 !!

    More vids soon.

    : )

  • man the duplex has gone over too extreme, now i understand its not suitable - "The duplex is a frictional rest escapement; - its tight tolerances and sensitivity to shock made duplex watches unsuitable for active people. " (Wiki) I am sure there is great beauty here but not is it for watches?

  • on the subject of duplex escapements......

    i have a duplex movement with no name or numbers to identify it.....its a european (i understand it could be french)
