I am working on the mainspring now. I will use a much stiffer material, for it - 3D printed carbon fiber. I have used it for some pinions already with very good results

thank you Fitz! I enjoy sharing the development process of my work. I love horological engineering, I often dream of clockwork. 3D printing allows me to make those ideas a physical reality in an intriguing way. Tourbillon 1000% uses a symmetrical co-axial escapement, with a free-sprung balance. Tour

there is one at the nyc boutique

The Watch Escapement, by Henry Fried

"Since it is very difficult to synthesize perfect crystals of silicon spring, some nano-sized cracks or surface imperfections can remain" Silicon can very easily be made with very high purity, beyond 99%. All of the semiconductors in your computer and phone are made with this ultra high purity silic

horological 3d printing can be thought of in terms of a "pick any two" euler diagram - material, resolution and price. technology exists to print at a resolution usable a watch scale, fully assembled, in suitable materials (different metal alloys), but the price is extremely expensive. it's easy to

Here are two more photos, showing different stages of work on the carriage, and the hairspring.

I have a video on my Facebook, I'm not sure how to upload it here
