Yes, I should have at least said "pocket watch". Technically it would be a pocket chronometer, in the traditional English definition. I would say if it can be carried on one's person it is a watch, if it is stationary, it's a clock. The gray area being Ship chronometers and carriage clocks. As I point out on my site, I am shamelessly copying one of George Daniels designs, as I find his work to be of great inspiration (and he provides alot of details in his book :thumbup:). His watches, as I intend mine to be, are more like a scientific instruments that are beautifully finished. The movement is 58mm in diameter, the finished case will be about 60-62mm, so it is a rather large pocket watch, but the focus is to make as precise a timekeeper that I can, size/aesthetics are, in a sense, a secondary concern. |

A most impressive set up and work Jere. I am afraid if I should ever attempt such a project the bits would get lost in the swarf and I would never finish! |
| RobWilson:

There is a major problem here Jere. --- Quote ---the finished case will be about 60-62mm, so it is a rather large pocket watch --- End quote --- The pockets in your waistcoat must be massive, and are you taking out a second mortgage to pay for the gold fob chain? :lol: Bogs |
