              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.

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

                  Thanks,

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

                          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 :D

                                  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.
