For thoses who haven’t seen this tool, here’s a YouTube video link demo-ing a digital hairsping vibrator (It appears to be Asian in origin).

What an amazing bit of kit, hope i dont see one for sale, the wife would not be happy!

Tom I bet if we combined pay checks we still couldn’t afford it. 😆

A company called MICROSET ACCESSORIES sell an Optical Hairspring Sensor kit for $50.00. It includes the optical sensor and a clear see through table the sensor mounts under to monitor the balance wheel.

David:

I thought their sensor was around $300.00. I’ll go back and look again. I can probably aford that!

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
That is only for the sensor and the clear base. You still need the watch timing unit.

Great find Tom… I WANT THAT VIBRATOR RIGHT NOW does anyone have a website or is this just a one off invention?

Chris:

I found their site nad I think they are in Finland. I don’t speak “Finlander” but when I pulled up the image of the vibrating tool, I saw the word “Protoyyppii” which I’ll bet means prototype.

Here’s the link…

Thanks David, I’ll give it a shot… I thought you would have purchased several of these by now for your collection

Chris I have the microset timer I use on clocks all the time. In fact I have 3 of them with the computer software. It is accurate as the day is long especially with the optical sensors. Now that I can see halfway decent I may get back into doing antique pocket watches again. If I do I will be getting this and the clamping watch sensor to go along with my newest microset 3. http://www.bmumford.com/mset/tech/hairsprings/springs.html

I have known Bryan for years and in fact bought the first microset he put on the market. I bought a second on to go on service calls. It was a 2 and upgraded it to a three. My first one I don’t use much so bought another 3. Bryan is always there to help in anyway and generally has some great idea.
